The Holy Land, 1260. Josseran Sarrazini is chosen to escort the Pope's emissary on an embassy to the all-conquering Mongol horde in an effort to save all Christendom from destruction. But although he serves as a Templar warrior, Josseran is not all that he appears to be. Now they have to spend nine months in each other's company on the most dangerous and most inhospitable journey on the earth - across the legendary deserts of Persia, through the horrific black hurricanes of the Taklimakan, along the entire spider's web of the Silk Road to Khubilai Khan's legendary capital at Xanadu.

All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear. With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it's too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide.

Hugely disappointed...

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. The plot was very thin with numerous implausabilities, even impossibilities. I can only hope that the TV series, which looks to be almost completely different from this story line, is put together better.
What was most disappointing about James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge ’s story?
I have read dozens of James Patterson's books. They are all basically tightly written with reasonably well-crafted plot lines and satisfactory endings. This book fails on all levels. There are holes in the plot big enough to put a safari bus through, and I cannot help but believe that the authors did little computer research on the Ochavango Delta in Botswana and no in person research. The plot mechanism of shutting off the power grid and cellular service world wide was laughable and one could not suspend disbelief long enough even to enjoy the story. The plot was thin and did not provide anywhere near the level of interest to keep me wanting to move ahead in the story. I only kept going because I thought it had to get better. It didn't. A truly lame novel.
What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?
Great voice, gender, and accent characterizations! Wonderful performance of a lame book.
Was Zoo worth the listening time?
Not at all. I am sorry I wasted my time and money.
