Living Memory

Narrated by: Sofia Rowley

“Walton has brought hard sci-fi roaring back to life.” (The Wall Street Journal)

When paleontologists Samira and Kit uncover dinosaur skeletons in northern Thailand, they also find the remains of an ancient genetic technology that nations will kill to control. Catapulted into a web of murder and intrigue involving the Chinese Ministry of State Security, a powerful Asian crime syndicate, the CIA, and a beautiful Thai princess, Samira and Kit don’t know who they can trust. Torn apart by competing factions and stranded on opposite sides of the world, they race to discover the truth before the world goes to war. Can they bring the past to life before it kills them all?

Loving it!

Thought provoking and fun. Cleverly written and nicely narrated. Can't stop listening to it.

Intriguing and very well written.

This isn't my usual genre, but I enjoyed it. The world building is good. The understanding of human nature is so accurate I feel like there should be trigger warnings attached. I liked the characters, both human and dinosaur. There's plenty of set up for the next book.

Sophia did a good job narrating. She really shines in the dialog sections.

Great story

This is a fun science fiction story that I actually learned some stuff from - for example that the Gaia observatory actually exists. Narration is great, voices for different characters make it easy to follow who's talking in the dialogue.

What a great book!

The story was unique and well written. The narration was superb. The use of vocal effects were on point and not over the top like in other books. Can't wait until part 2 comes out!

Great story. Very different

Dammit Walton. You should skip thanksgiving and Xmas break and finish book two!! I was given this as a promo providing I provide a review. This was outstanding both in writing and narration. Story was something different then I usually read but glad I did. Narration was done well. Highly recommend
