Historia
James Crowley met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm. This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff.

With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

The city of the gods. Elantris once stood as the symbol of all that is beautiful. A sprawling metropolis of unrivaled grandeur, it was a symbol of power and strength, built to be as imposing as it was magnificent. The only thing more glorious than the city itself was its inhabitants, Godlike beings, with silvery skin and hair of the purest, flowing white. Able to create powerful magics with a mere wave of their hands, the Elantrians were able to heal mortal wounds and create any object they desired. To be an Elantrian was to be without sickness, without pain and without want.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Reseñas de la Crítica
Would you consider the audio edition of Dinocalypse Now to be better than the print version?
Honestly, no, but that's because I love reading books myself and imagining my own characters. That said, this audiobook is definitely one of the best I've listened to. Looking forward to more in this series from the same narrator.What was one of the most memorable moments of Dinocalypse Now?
There are loads of fantastic scenes, full of comedy, action and adventure, but without wandering into spiler territory, let's say the opening fight around the Empire State Building. Don't cross FDR!What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?
His character voice work was fantastic! His Professor Khan took a bit to get used to as it was the most dramatically different from my own imagination, but after a chapter or two, it started to feel right, and I really got into it. I think it'll always be how I hear the Son of Khan from now on! Mr. Wyman's pacing is fantastic as well, and the chapters flowed at about the pace I expected them too.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me alugh throughout, from the wonderful characterisations to the action-packed combat. The finale was suitably dramatic and emotionally charged, and leads directly into the sequel.Any additional comments?
Dinocalypse Now is a wonderful piece. Having read it myself prior to the audiobook, I can also say that the audio is a faithful presentation of the story, well crafted and narrated with genuine life. If you've been starved for some new pulp adventures in the style of the classics, such as The Lost World, or Doc Savage, then Dinocalypse Now is a must-read, or, in this case, a must-listen!Classic Pulp Adventuring

Mr. Wyman does a fantastic job narrating, which I feel is one of the reasons I enjoyed this book.
This book introduces a myriad of characters however it gives little to no background on any of them. Despite this, I did find myself liking most of them and wanting to learn more about them.
There are two more books in the series, which I will probably… Eventually, listen to him. Are primarily in the hopes of learning more about the characters that I enjoyed and less about how the story unfolds. On that note this book ended on a cliffhanger.
Overall, pretty good for a free book.
Not Bad... Feels like an unorganized jumble of ideas thrown together
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
It's witty and the best kind of ridiculous. A quick read. My only minor complaint would be the authors aversion to writing fight scenes. He tended to "skip to the end" of a scene which means the story always moved along at a brisk pace but was an obvious break.
Just what I was looking for

For the rest of us, maybe it will grab you and tickle your fancy, but probably not. What's the audio equivalent of skimming? That's what I did, not immersing myself in the listen, but still able to follow along and have a little fun with it once in a while. But overall, there's really nothing here for me. It's harmless at best. But i will not be continuing with the series.

I’m a sucker for wild, weird SciFi/Fantasy stories, especially if they are part of a series as there is a longer payoff for time invested in the characters/learning world lore. However Wendig, the author, just couldn’t hold my attention. I’d back up & try again, listen at different times of day, etc. but nothing worked. Once it became brute force repetition/persistence, I decided to throw the white flag.
Apparently this series is based on a TTRPG, which could be interesting. I just wish they had chosen a more competent writer to giver their game legs in another format.
2 Stars - I gave it +1 for world/setting (inherited from TTRPG), but the writing is immature & overly simplistic, yet includes subplots that don’t further flesh out the story.
I wanted to like/finish this book …

Seriously?!?

Wendig has a lot of fans, so I have to assume his more recent novels are better than this but I am not inspired to use a credit to find out. This was free but I will never get my wasted time back.
Awful

I'm going to re-read the book in text format and see if I have a different impression. As it was, I couldn't wait to be finished and move on to a different book.
