Jurassic Ark

De: David Niall Wilson

Narrado por: Joshua Saxon

From USA Today best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker Award winner David Niall Wilson, a historical fantasy of epic proportion.

There are monsters roaming the desert and menacing the roads. There are sorcerers, harlots, and gamblers rampant in the city. In a compound in a forest, at the base of a mountain, one man and his family have received a prophecy. There will be a reckoning. There will be a flood. They will survive, but only if they obey the prophecy. Only if they build an ark, where there is no water. Only if they gather all of the creatures of the world. Only if they are faithful. Everyone else? Well, they're going to die.

This is a book of prophecy and revelation, heroism and love. It is a very old story with a new twist. It is a very human story, drawing together the creatures of the heavens and the earth. This is not your mother's Noah, and it is not the Bible's Ark...and yet it is. Welcome to an alternate history where your only hope is not to miss the boat.

Good listen

This was an intriguing twist on Noah and the Ark. Magic and fantasy aside, the jurassic part was fun but not believable for earth’s history. I tend to prefer sci-fi/fantasy that aligns with reality and projects future/past possibilities. This was definitely not that but was still a good story. It was dark, but so was Noah’s time period. The performance was also pretty good and added to the experience.

Fascinating

This was fascinating & well researched. I know the author states at the beginning that he had no interest in believing that the story of Noah & the Ark took place & yet still felt compelled to write this book. This book was written so well that I had to remind myself that’s its fiction. I love the mystical creatures, the intrigue, & the whole story overall felt like this could have actually happened in real life.

Not Just A Creature Feature

I went into JURASSIC ARK by David Niall Wilson and produced by Crossroad Press expecting a silly fun creature feature but JURASSIC ARK is so much more than that. JURASSIC ARK is a very in depth and entertaining story and is narrated by Joshua Saxon who gives an absolutely superb reading.

Not my cup of tea

I didn't expect (and maybe should have) the religious aspect to the story. The general tone seemed harsh and not entertaining. Not something I'd listen to again, but others might like it. For what it was, the story was well written and the narrator did a reasonable job.

Alternate History at its finest

the story of Noah and his Ark as cleverly told her makes the Sunday school version more boring than it already is!

this is the version they should be telling children to keep them awake and fear God! 😂

Joshua Saxon delivers in his own style, all the narration that listeners long for, an engaging vocalization, a reverance for the words he says and a voice that commands you to listen to each syllable and intonation!

worth listening to on a nice drive or just chilling at home, you will not be disappointed in either the story or the way in which it is delivered to your ears.

Mister Saxon, once again, proves he can read the works of anyone with ease and style. definitely a narrator worth seeking out and enjoying over and over again.

Epically Narrated Ark Rehash

This is a keen twist on Noah's Ark and expecting a construction epic it's decent. Sword and sandal biblical appropriation; long winded wiith too few "tooth devils." It has a lot of pacing issues; literally about building the ark and some sociopolitical surroundings. There isn't much Jurassic and the implication of dinosaur carnage feels misleading. Joshua Saxon's narration delivery is epically good making this stuff sound like prophecy with an ominous sense of peril. It's unlikely anyone is unfamiliar with Noah's Ark so a retelling, especially one so straightly told is less likely to be compelling (there are some embellishments but they's told in odd slow burn build up that's a bit boring despite the grave narration).

Great twist on the norm

Love this author.he draws you in and really paints a picture…his settings are places I want to visit or see,his characters are alive and whispering or yelling or laughing or sweating. With me as we enjoy the adventures

A fantastic retelling of Noah’s Ark

This is an incredible recreation of the biblical story of the ark and it’s well worth reading or hearing and just an incredible piece of writing

More about Ark than it is about teeth

This is not a bad story, it’s just not what I was expecting or wanting. Look at that cover, big ol’ T-Rex looking to tear someone a new bible verse. Well this is more biblical than Jurassic. Not a whole lot to do with dinosaurs at all.

Not What I Expected - Better

I bought this thinking that would be another dinosaur book. But I got way more than I had expected.

This brings Noah and the Ark to life like I've never heard. Maybe this should be taught in Sunday School

I loved it. The reader did an awesome job as well.
