How does the greatest gunslinger of the old west end his career? By hunting a dinosaur animal spirit, of course.

Karl Redgrave has a big plans for his retirement party. He's bringing together the world's greatest criminals, murderers, warriors, and assassins to hunt something worthy of them all: a highly intelligent, seven-foot tall dinosaur spirit; known to the natives as the Grishla.

Of course, Karl wants only the best on his safari, so he has pitted these men against each other in a deadly contest in an old ghost town, with five winners securing a place in the hunt.

Who will live? Who will win? And if they win, can they survive the final confrontation with the beast?

Really fun novel!

I was totally into this one; hooks you from the very start. Really creative premise. The narrator is great too; very distinct character voices and accents. Gotta listen to the next one! Definitely recommend it!

Another Wonderful Gray and Self Combo

This prequel to The Hunted Tribe is so good!! Another cliffhanger, but it's such a good cliffhanger. Can't wait for more from Ms. Gray

Interesting prequel.

I loved book 1 of this and was excited to listen to the prequel to it. This is almost two short stories that collide together at the end. On one side, we see Jack (Sorry, I can't even begin to spell his Indian name so I'll stick with Jack). Jack belongs to the tribe that the Grishla cursed. His tribe sacrifice people to appease the Grishla, but when his mother is sacrificed, it hits Jack hard. He is too young to do much about it but he's never forgotten or forgiven them for doing it. Now he's grown, he finally gets tired of their ways and when his childhood friend gets offered as the sacrifice, he decides to rescue her and run away. They are hunted by the tribe for their desertion.

On the other side we see Karl Redgrave calling the elite of the hunters, assassins, murders etc, to fight a battle. They are to find 5 Faberge Eggs and whoever finds it will be rewarded. There are no rules so it's a fight to the death for some. Those 5 winners will hunt a very elusive creature, called the Grishla.

Initially when I started reading this, I was quite confused as to what was going on, but once I figured out the two separate stories, I enjoyed this a lot. It wasn't as enjoyable as book 1 but it was close! The plot, as I said, was two separate stories that come together in an unforgettable way at the end. I liked Jack's story the most and really felt for him. His tribe was horrible and it was nice that he found his own path.

The last half of the book was extremely fast paced and intense and made up for the confusion at the start. This is a solid addition to the series and I'm hoping we get book 2 soon!

Terry F. Self had a lot of different tones and voices for the different characters and was easy to listen to, I just found him to be a little unenthusiastic with the reading. A little emotion behind his words would have brought this to life fully!

I was given this free audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Different western...

Different but very good. Roma Gray is an excellent author . She writes in a way that you get caught up in the characters and can’t wait to see what happens to them. Terry F. Self does all the voices extremely well. You can definitely tell the characters apart in his narration.

Seriously entertaining!

This book has a lot of flaws but my goodness it was seriously entertaining with a fantastic climax at the end.
