Survival of the Fittest

By: Jacqui Murray

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Five tribes. One leader. A treacherous journey across three continents in search of a new home. Written in the spirit of Jean Auel, Survival of the Fittest is an unforgettable saga of hardship and determination, conflict and passion. Chased by a ruthless enemy, Xhosa leads her People on a grueling journey through unknown and dangerous lands following a path laid out decades before by her father, to be followed only as a last resort. She is joined by other fleeing tribes from Indonesia, China, South Africa, East Africa, and the Levant, all similarly forced by timeless events to find new lives. As they struggle to overcome treachery, lies, tragedy, secrets, and Nature itself, Xhosa is forced to face the reality that her enemy doesn't want to ruin her People. It wants to ruin her. The story is set 850,000 years ago, a time in prehistory when man populated most of Eurasia, where ‘survival of the fittest’ was not a slogan. It was a destiny. Xhosa's People were from a violent species, one fully capable of addressing the many hardships that threatened their lives except for one: future man, a smarter version of themselves, one destined to obliterate all those who came before.

virtual voice is great..some mispronounced words but amazing.

the ancient people have a large vocabulary but the story was interesting, the description of the people is creative.

Captivating

I strongly encourage listening/reading the first trilogy. Also keep Clan of thr Cave bear far from comparison. It is written in that spirit but not the same. I love how the people from different places meet. The only confusion is who preceeded who Xhosa or Lucy. 4 stars for virtual voice. not good for the character Svee. Otherwise I love these trilogies

Nothing like Auel

Please don’t waste your time on this one not even close to Jean Auel. Just bad.

not Auel, not even close

The AI voice on this was awful, no inflection, mispronounced words, it was just not enjoyable at all
