Publisher's summary

It was true – it was all true – and we were never meant to be there. In December 2018, Ben Cartwright, former Special Forces soldier, and a team of naive explorers, followed the clues left by his ancestor to a hidden plateau in the middle of the Amazon jungle. It was said that once every 10 years, a secret pathway was revealed to a world long since gone. They went, and what they found was a place of wonders and of horrors. Only Ben and his childhood love, Emma, survived. But when the doorway to the hidden world closed, Ben was trapped on the wrong side. Now, Emma has waited 10 long years for the doorway to open again. This time she’d be ready. This time she had everything she needed to go back to that hellish place and survive. All she needed was for Ben to be alive when she got there.

Great story

I love this author. This is a wonderful series. The narrator either has a medical condition or a drinking problem, unfortunately. Some chapters are a little weird when he slurs his words. When he isn't slurring, he's a great narrator.

Well Written, But An Unnecessary Sequel Comes Next

First off, I like the story, here. What applied to my review of the first book in this trilogy applies here, as well. It’s well written, if a little run of the mill.

However, and this is a personal opinion that others may not share, it seemed to me that the story naturally ended here. To me, it had come full circle. The next novel in the series deals a lot with changes in history and time, but it’s an unnecessary sequel. My only gripe with this book is that it should’ve ended with this one. The next book just feels like a plugged in story the author needed to make it a trilogy. While these first two books are naturally connected, the concept of the third feels forced, and I confess to not reading it on account of that. Nonetheless, a good story in these first two books in the series.

Fantastical

If you want to suspend belief for a while and listen to an exciting story, then this is a great book. That is if you can get past Sean Mangan saying “oh 1, oh 2, etc…” for the first 9 chapters and his narration style in general. I ended up reading the rest of the book from midway on.
I really enjoy Beck’s books but do not think I will listen to any more of them until the narrator changes. Listen to the sample. It won’t get any better.

Awesome sauce

If you enjoyed Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton I would recommend reading Greig Beck Primordia series. When listening to this book It reminded me of one of the early childhood TV show I would watch on Saturday mornings “Land of the lost”. Both tales of what happens when people travel back in time and try to survive in a land filled with Your favorite prehistoric nightmares. Trying to find their way back home and learning how to live with dangers all around. If you enjoy those kinda scenarios this might be right up your alley!

Another A++++

I have yet to read one of Mr Beck's books that have not wowed me. while Book of the Dead will forever be my favorite, this series is amazing and I advise anyone into classic AC Doyle or hard science action thrillers to get the whole run.

Very Suspenseful!

I loved this book! I liked that the author was so knowledgeable about the creatures he wrote about. It was very interesting to hear the info.
AND, I found nothing wrong with the narrator. I just hope all these negative comments aren't going to influence Sean's removal from Grieg's books. Why are people so intent on not enjoying books just so they can try to find something to complain about? Stop being so picky so you can enjoy the books.
I recommend this book. Enjoy!

Good story

I like ie the in depth research the author did on paleontology as it really added to the veracity of the story

Entertaining

Color me entertained. It's not a work of literary art for the ages but it's a good story with ample descriptions one can picture it in their mind's eye.
