fun way to listen to a great book!

loved it. I had already read both books in the series and thought about re reading the first one. but this was an easier and more imaginative way to experience this vivid book. highly recommend

Breathtaking story with incredible use of modern dinosaur interpretation

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. Between the writing and the acting, this has been a phenomenal experience. Legitimately can not wait for the rest of the series to be available on here.

Primitive War, by Ethan Pettus

Interesting story taking place in Vietnam during the Vietnam War but with a Mesozoic twist when a Russian time travel experiment opened a portal to the Cretaceous period, letting a bunch of dinosaurs into a valley in Vietnam. Fun story if somewhat different. I enjoyed it a lot.

So This IS why they're making a movie out of it

Very suspensful, decent character development, decent plot, very dark, very brutal. Its everything I could've asked for in a dino thriller.

amazing

Honestly one of the most entertaining and interesting audiobooks I have heard in a while.

what a roller coaster

great captivating story this is my first audio book and I gotta say I am not disappointed at all the characters were great I found myself biting my nails hoping my favorites were ok the concept and execution is done so well however there are some points where the audio gets funky but other then that it's great I can't wait to listen to the 2nd book

Amazing!

Harsh, chilling, brutal and awesome! Vietnam soldiers meet Dinosaurs and tons of violence and tension throughout. Very fun listen and I absolutely can not wait for the next stories in the series! Bring on The Primitive War!

Spellbinding

The Primitive War series has a kind of magic that ensnares the reader from start to end, and to have June bring that magic to life with his spellbinding narration is a pure delight.

Everything, from the innocence and excitement, to the sheer depths of horror and dark adrenaline have been painted in vivid, sometimes haunting tones.
The accents bring forth a new life to beloved characters, and fresh emotions to unforgettable moments.
I once again feel like I’ve run every step and felt every pang and emotion alongside the unforgettable characters I’ve grown to know and love like family.

This is an absolute delight for old fans and an intoxicating gateway to ensnare new ones to the fandom.

I sincerely hope there will be more audiobooks to come in the not too distant future!!

Has the spirit of the Crichton Jurassic Park.

I found this to be a well-written and enjoyable book. The way the dinosaurs were portrayed really impressed me at some points and made them into believable monsters. The book is set in the Vietnam war and as such, some portions have nothing to do with dinosaurs and are DARK. The book has good character development and looks at topics like PTSD, Schizophrenia, and substance use at a time when these subjects were just starting to be recognized medically. It does a good job of exploring what it is like for the soldiers going through the war as well as the current situation which may not be for everyone. However, It was very well done and the prehistoric creatures were great. Like Chrichton's books, I would say it leans more to the side of science fiction than science fantasy. One example is that the raptors have feathers and the way they use these feathers makes them much more terrifying with them than without them. I wish the newer Jurassic Park movies could have taken some inspiration from it. (Also, If you were a kid in the late 90s to early 2000s and played the Capcom game Dino Crisis, you will probably get some feelings of nostalgia while listening.)

Excellent

Some of the best story telling regarding war there is. Plus some awesome dinosaurs too.
