About this listen

 A stunning debut in the blockbuster tradition of Jurassic Park -- enhanced with dramatic sound effects.

A pair of fierce but beautiful eyes look out from the undergrowth of conifers. The eyes follow every movement in the great herd of plant-eating dinosaurs that mills around the open meadows, moving back and forth with the rapid scanning of a hunter who is thinking about everything she sees. She is an intelligent killer...

The time -- 120 million years ago. The place -- the plains of prehistoric Utah. The eyes belong to one of the most unforgettable heroines you will ever meet. Her name -- Raptor Red.

Raptor Red is a female raptor dinosaur, struggling to survive on her own after losing her mate. Painting a rich and colorful picture of a lush prehistoric world, leading paleontologist Robert T. Bakker tells the story from within Raptor Red's extraordinary mind, dramatizing his groundbreaking theories in an exciting, one-of-a-kind tale. With keen insight and stunning authenticity, he tracks the raptor on her yearlong odyssey of survival as she braves a devastating storm, migrates toward the ocean to escape powerful predators, and heads north in a desperate attempt to escape the threat of deadly acrocanthosaurs, all while carrying out her natural duty to search for a new mate.

From its tragic opening to its thrilling climax on a snowy mountaintop, Raptor Red is a unique and utterly compelling look at a year in the life of a dinosaur -- a revolutionary work of fiction. Action & Adventure Animals Fantasy Fiction Genre Fiction Hard Science Fiction Science Fiction

I love the ambients and music in the background of the book, the book overall is amazing and raptor red feels almost human at times, there are some very emotional parts.

Was put off by how short this was (the book seems longer)
This audiobook is fantastic! The narration is spot on and it feels like this should be a nature documentary! There is also ambient SFX and music! I loved the book and this is the perfect audio accompaniment to that experience!

Fantastic adaptation

It was a good book but I don't really believe that Raptors had feelings for each other or mourned loss young. The sense of smell was very interesting though.

If you want your dinos to have feelings....
