Out of the Earth

Out of the Earth Series, Book 1

By: Jake Bible

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

Something else has been living beneath the Earth. Now, it's their time to rule . . .

The Yellowstone supervolcano has begun to erupt, sending North America into chaos and the rest of the world into a panic. People are dangerous and desperate, knowing this will plunge the continent, and the world, into perpetual winter.

Until they realize that the eruption is the least of their worries . . .

Out of the massive chasm comes more than ash and lava. Giant monsters emerge, bent on destroying everything in sight.

Federal Marshal Lu Morgan and a ragtag group of survivors and soldiers must fight hard to stay alive and beat back the invasion of massive creatures.

It is a race against time, and a race for survival, as all involved struggle to find answers as to where the monsters came from and how to stop them.

Silly but fun

Amazing how we can listen cuz maybe it will get better but doesn’t. But you’ve listened to the end and even chuckled a bit.

Story line thin.

Story premise is interesting enough but lacked development. Stereotypical characters. Seemed like an effort to rush to publication.

MONSTERS

WOW!! Haven't heard an exciting humorous horror thriller in a long time!!.Finally a real believable story..this is really how people would react to a catastrophic event in this country..I loved every minute of this..I laughed..shook my head..waiting for the next line!..Def going to look for a follow up!!

“The Days of our Lives” ...with Kaiju

OUT OF THE SKY - OUT OF THE EARTH - OUT OF THE FIRE

“I loved the idea. The premise sounds so exciting, if done right this could be a fantastic tale.
Unfortunately it’s not done right.

The Kaiju monsters are far in the back ground while the story focuses on the people struggling to survive. The characters are various kinds of annoying and unlikable that continuously fight with each other.

The melodrama is so thick the monsters from the center of the earth couldn’t break through it. What’s more all the characters seem to have the mentality of high school juniors.
The details of what they are doing go on and on, and the talking goes on and on. Moronic yelling screaming and crying.

It’s as if the soap opera “The Days of our Lives” was written by a high school student who thinks that throwing in a lot of cursing will make the novel seem more adult. Because everybody curses like a sailor, the professors, the doctors, the people from the government, the people in the secret bunker underneath the White House. Yep, EVERYONE in this story curses.

I cringed through most of it. Not at the horrific monsters, at the horrifically stupid dialogue.

But did I listen to them all? Sure did.

His monsters are superb. They come in many different, enormous, imaginative shapes. They are extremely dangerous and smash, melt, and eat many of the unlikeable characters.

I listened with a finger on the “30 seconds forward” button. When the melodrama got to be too much I zipped forward. So I listened to it … more like skimmed through it and only heard the juicy parts with monsters.

Yes !!

reminded me of day of the tryphids by John Wyndham.
written in the early 60s. I think.
