Lemuria

De: Greig Beck

Narrado por: Sean Mangan

On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors.

Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Now, Troy Strom and the enigmatic Elle Burgan race to find the mysterious island of legend, while staying ahead of a group of brutal killers who claim to be the rightful owners of the greatest prize of all—Odin’s heart.

Amazing tale

greig beck is a true story teller. Th detail and story are amazing he is the Jules Verne of this generation. His stories always leave you wanting more.

Interesting

I was bewildered at first what this had to do with the original Mysterious Island. But I get it, we moved the island so it’s not in the Pacific anymore. Not a bad concept and it’s doable as a story.

Easy read.

I enjoyed listening to this book and the reader is easy to understand. Exciting. The only thing I dislike is that it is Book 1 as I prefer standalone books.

Lemuria

I liked it! I enjoyed the bits of history and the dinosaur monsters! It’s good!

Unfortunately, boring…

I had listened to The Siberian Incident by Greig. It was great - 5 stars. This one, not so much. I want to listen to another of his books but am afraid to invest another credit.

Exciting story

Exciting story line with twists and turns. Excellent development of characters as is typical of all of Beck’s books. Thanks for the research and glimpses into another world . As always, I was mesmerized and had lots of fun!

Yet another great listen from Greig Beck!

Great story, well developed characters, narration easy to listen to. I found it to be a fast moving story. would love a 2nd book to follow it!

It’s all about the reader

If you suffer from narcolepsy, this reader is for you! I don’t really know about the story…I slept through it.

great story!

Can't wait for yhe next book!!! i very great imagination incorporating fiction myths in the real world.

Not my favourite by Greig Beck

I am a huge Greig Beck fan, but I found this book pretty average compared to his previous books. Perhaps it was too slow-paced to my liking, perhaps the storyline was too predictable, or perhaps the characters didn't appeal to me. I am not sure, but it is probably the latter. I am writing this review a week after finishing it, and I can't remember a single character's name. The protagonist was boring, and I hardly got to know him.

The book isn't terrible, though. If you have never read Greig Beck before, you would probably consider it a fun read. However, Greig is a victim of his own success. One has to be mindful, though, that this is book 1 in a new series, and perhaps the story will develop and be more engaging. I will read book 2 when it becomes available, as Greig Beck is currently one of the more entertaining authors.

PS. The narrator, Sean Mangan, was superb as he always is.
