A World of Dinosaurs

Mintari, Book 1

By: Daniel Arenson

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster, Eva Kaminsky, Taylor Meskimen

Dinosaurs. Majestic giants. They’ve captured our imagination for generations. On planet Mintari, they live again.

Mintari is far from Earth. Wild. Pristine. A world where triceratops herd across grasslands, pterosaurs soar over golden mountains, and T-rexes prowl the misty forests.

But these magnificent beasts might soon disappear. And only one man can save them.

They call him Jurassic Joe; a semi-mythical figure, a ranger who lives in the wilderness of Mintari. He is the defender of dinosaurs and the bane of poachers. A folk hero...but is he real?

He better be. Because big game hunters are landing on Mintari. A lot of them. It will take a hero to stop them, and they must be stopped or the dinosaurs of Mintari will be lost forever.

Discover a world of savage beauty, terrifying danger, and ancient beasts brought back to life in Mintari, a dinosaur adventure series.

Awful

The premise had potential, unfortunately none of the potential was realized.
This book is patently awful.
I can't finish it. ½ way through and it simply does not get better.
Even it shows up for free on Audible Plus, it's not worth the IQ points one can feel seeping away as you listen. It's THAT bad!

Sci-fi in a Zane Gray style.

The author could have cutout 5 hours of excessive descriptions and the novel would have moved smoother and been less frustrating to listen to. If I'd been reading it, it would be sitting somewhere waiting for me to get back to it.

Fantastic ride

Instantly reminded me of Jurassic Park and Raptor Red both being two of my favorite books! Can’t wait to get the next two!

Nope

I probably would have liked this book when I was 13 and thought Tarzan was the coolest hero around. I’m not 13 anymore and even after years of reading SF the suspension of belief for this book was beyond me. I finished it only because I had already paid for it but I kept wishing it would end. The performances are good just the material they were given isn’t.
