Primordia: In Search of The Lost World
A novel by Greig Beck
Narrated by Sean Mangan
As you already know, I am a Greig Beck fan. I'm doing my best to read/listen to everything he's written, to be on top of my fandom game. It's easy to do, especially when it comes to a book series as adventurous as this. This is book one of three and it's freaking phenomenal.
I know, I've dubbed all his work akin to greatness, right? Well, that's because these books are not of this world- they're entirely in a league of their own and this walks you into something you'd never have imagined on your own. His works are the likes of King and beyond! They are a terror all their own. #element-26f90c64-3463-43ba-8b28-d2dbd37fffd5 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
Book one, Primordia: In Search of The Lost World, is all about a guy named Ben, who's discovered a great (great, great, I think) grandfather had something to do with Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the Sherlock Holmes series. According to correspondence and messages, tucked away inside the sleeve of a book, are indicators to one of Doyle's books carrying a heavy sense of truth. The Lost World could be real!
So if you've read the story, you know it's all about a land forgotten, prehistoric and "... very Deadly...", in the immortal words of Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir (Indiana Jones). So what does Ben do? He shares the information with his school friends, and one bucks up to cover the whole expense to see if there's any credibility! Travel from the US to London, to the Amazon-who does that and where can I find friends like that? Problem is, the trip doesn't go according to plan. None of it.
Mistakes are made, people die and somebody gets left behind. I ain't saying who, but it's not a pretty ending, but leaves a window open for a follow-up novel. Which leads into why I love Beck's books so much- the deaths! The amount of testicular shrinkage that takes place lets you know just how scared these people get, with good reason! LOL I can't believe I just typed that. But seriously, I needed Visine eyedrops for the numerous times my eyes bucked at what took place.
Anyway, I don't want to say too much, because I'll surely give away the story, and you know how I feel about SPOILERS. I refuse to do it. Just know that if you are familiar with this author's work, you know he can literally inflict nightmarish deaths. They're creepy, horrific, and totally amazing! 'Cause I'mma tell you now, "Something's out there, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die."
Remember who said that one? :)
I'm moving on to book 2. Cheers!
