Timebeam to danger

Six hunters and two official guides are going on the trip of their lifetime.Their destination? Earth as it was 100 million years ago, long before human dominion, when the great hot-blooded dinosaurs ruled supreme.

Each of the time travelers has a different motive. Some are on the strange safari for pay. Others are taking a psychological and sexual holiday from civilization. There are women who wanted to show themselves the equal of men - and men out to test and prove their manhood.

But whatever their drives and desires, their strengths and weaknesses, the ultimate horror awaits them...deathbeast.

This is a not so great variant of Moby Dick with The sound of Thunder time traveling Dino hunt.
Boring characters no so bad narration.
Almost to none characters development nothing to care about them
The most interesting one was the prehistoric mouse
The bad Dino was so stereotype even Jurassic park one were more scary and interesting
Not bad but there is an idea this will be a great syfy channel or The asylum movie full of cheap special effects
I will watch it

Mix of Moby Dick and The sound of Thunder

I have to agree with many of the review titles. A bad combination of Moby Dick, jurassic park and broke back mountain. Characters are plastic and spending what seemed like hours digressing into 'souls coming from the moon'. Major pass. I would return this, but I feel like it was my fault for not reading the reviews before buying.

Should have read the reviews.

This book started out well, as an interesting story that involved action and what not. But after about the halfway point it got very wordy and devolved from the actual action into a lot of personal reflection by the characters that really felt like it dragged on way too long. Overall I was disappointed in what had potential to be a really good story.

Disappointing

Likes: future meets prehistoric past is a good concept
Dislike: little character development, even less of the actual “beast”. Lots of rabbit hole content that should have never made final print.

Just sorta bland

DEATHBEAST - Poetic prehistoric pandemonium

This is “Moby Dick” and Ray Bradbury’s “A Distant Sound of Thunder” retold.

Ray Bradbury & Edgar Rice Burroughs fans may enjoy this.
That said, it's “Moby Dick” as a Jurassic version of the great white whale’s tale.

An obsessed great-white-hunter, a modernistic “Captain Ahab” ( named “E-fab” ) from the future hires a time travel safari to go on a prehistoric hunt to slay the king of predators, the great white Tyrannosaurus rex - the Death-Beast.

Extremely verbose purple prose & chaos ensues.
Purple prose?
Yep.
Purple - like throbbing, blazing, nearly on fire crimson it’s so purple, purple prose.
It’s Marvel comics doing ‘Moby Dick’ with lasers and an enormous monster T-rex - instead of harpoons and a huge white whale.

Every character has an epic inner struggle complete with outlandish lines of anguish, that matches the outer earth-shaking struggle of man-ape and Lizard-King.

Poetically written, and more thoughtful than expected, in a style that reminds me of Moby Dick, Bradbury & Lovecraft.
Lovecraft?
Really?
Yeah.
“Deathbeast” reveals humans beings encountering actual dinosaurs.
Enormous predators.
People become prey.
People get eaten.
Alive.
This proves to be even more intense than it sounds.
Folks tend to loose their minds when they’re exposed to such traumatic horror.
They go into shock. They get so scared they loose it. They become obsessed. They start acting …strange., like they are characters in "Moby Dick".

All that, while their one chance to get back home is coming up… soon.
Time's ticking away.
Exciting and very dramatic.

MOBY DEATHBEAST - or, 'The Great White Rex.'

I started this book thinking it CANT be as bad as the title I mean deathbeast seriously and I was wrong it wasn’t as bad it was worse DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

It’s awful

Hated it. Two reasons. 1. Narration was horrible. 2. No plot development at all, none. NONE!

Narrator Voice Grates on Ears

I almost always listen to a full book no matter how much it hurts. And, I listened to this one entirely in spite of reviews that cautioned otherwise.

The basic story has potential. But, the author does not fully or even partially develop the characters. I read a review that said the author was overly wordy. That may be so, but I envisioned this narrated differently and I could say that it may have seemed seemed that way because of the very weak reading.

The reading led me to envision each character as a child or an overly insecure adult seeking parental warmth. I could see this read by other narrators (Scott Brick for instance) that may have made this a more enjoyable book. But even the fantastic Mr. Brick could not bring this book up more than a two star to me.

Sadly, the premise had real potential, but I found the product lacking.

Sorry Ears

This was one of the Audible freebies and I still feel like I paid to much money for it. Absolute rubbish!
