This series delivers what you would expect from the title, undead dinosaurs. They go on a rampage that begins in Antarctica, then quickly spreads throughout the world (thanks to human intervention).The stories are good, but not great.
One of the problems I had at a few points in the books is how unbelievable the events are. There are seemingly endless dinosaur corpses around, nearly intact, just waiting to be unleashed on the world. The pterodactyls in particular seem plentiful. Then there is the extremely rapid transformation of people once they are bitten. Without ruining the story, people undergo changes that make them more than traditional zombies.
But then I realized something; this is science FICTION! While the hordes of dinosaurs were still a bit difficult to fathom, once I remembered to embrace the fiction element of the writing, I became more accepting of the series as a whole. When it’s science fiction, all limitations are abandoned. So really, it was a ME problem. Still, the plots were good but not great.
The narrating was overall good, though again not great. Andrew Tell has some talent, but at this point I don’t expect he will be compared with Scott Brick, Ray Porter, or Johnny Heller. That isn’t to say he won’t improve, he’s just not there right now.
This series will certainly help pass the time, but I did find that I wanted to take a break between each book. I separated each by listening to a different book, which helped keep my interest for each one individually.
