About this listen

Like the "Dark Continent" of Africa, the dark island of Madagascar holds many chilling secrets. One of them is a long-thought extinct species of dinosaurs living at the country's core.

A massive earthquake rocks the mountain range within the Andringitra National Park. The splitting Earth reveals a network of tunnels, hidden away for millennia. Responding to the series of violent upheavals, a pack of hypersensitive predators flee their subterranean home; frenzied and hungry, they head for the surface.

Former Navy SEAL Ian Hunt begrudgingly accepts an offer to lead an exploratory team. What they uncover is the find of a lifetime... if they survive long enough to tell anyone.

Dinosaurs are alive and well at the heart of the dark island.

I thought it was a good story, it reminds me of the lost world, it gets a bit far fetched at the end but I did enjoy it.

Good

Very enjoyable. Monsters and sub terrainian worlds are a great recipe. The two main characters were well written and the tension was palpable throughout.

Good fun and engaging characters.

Decent enough dino adventure story but the the narrator is terrible. I could just about put up with the terrible accents but the William Shatner-esque pauses and delivery were infuriating.

Indiana Jones and Lara Croft together at last.

Great excitement and anticipation. Riveting and exhilarating. Hoped there will be a second book and look forward if there is

A great adventure

Narrator was awful. He did good character voices but apart from that he was monotone and read as though he was bored stiff.
The story was good, especially if you like ones with monsters in them, which I do!

Needs a different narrator
