Primitive War 1

By: Ethan Pettus

Narrated by: Wayne June

At the height of the Vietnam War, a search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon.

As Vulture Squad hunts through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds, but to end their lives, as well. When the casualties mount, the men of Vulture Squad must abandon their human nature and give in to their savage instincts to survive...the Primitive War.

fun way to listen to a great book!

loved it. I had already read both books in the series and thought about re reading the first one. but this was an easier and more imaginative way to experience this vivid book. highly recommend

I enjoyed it

This was a pretty good read. A combination of Jurassic Park, Predator, and Dino crisis. I'm very glad I took the recommendation from DangerVille! I'm very much hopping the rest of the series is to be released in audiobook, I'd buy it and listen to it!

Primitive War: Worth Your Time

Dinosaurs eating humans in the Vietnam war. You may think the premise is too silly to make a good story, but you may be pleasantly surprised if you take the time to read it. It's very realistic in its portrayal of mental illness, how the government would respond to a situation like this, the dinosaurs themselves, and war, The characters are deep, the dinosaurs are awesome, just listen to it. if I had to critique one thing it's that the excuse for dinosaurs being in Vietnam is very lame. Other than that, I heavily enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the audiobooks of primitive war 2 and primitive war dispatches.

The darker Jurassic park

Honestly read the graphic novel first (art is amazing) and wanted to explore through audio book as well. A great story with people who act like people. The greys of the world are evident and truly hope the sequel is as good.

Dread & Gravity

I loved in the most morbid way possible you really feel the just bleakness of being hunted and nobody is coming to save these people ....its was also a very raw war story which you don't hear very often ....the narrator is a absolute banger you instinctively connect that voice to the setting and he does a good mix for the characters

Loved it!

Loved the dark tone and how well the mix of the Vietnam war and dinosaur horror went into this book wish the second book would come to audible

The gritty reality of war mixed with dangerous dinosaurs that are a bit more paleo accurate.

Great book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Lots of cool battles between soldiers and dinosaurs.

what a roller coaster

great captivating story this is my first audio book and I gotta say I am not disappointed at all the characters were great I found myself biting my nails hoping my favorites were ok the concept and execution is done so well however there are some points where the audio gets funky but other then that it's great I can't wait to listen to the 2nd book

Amazing!

Harsh, chilling, brutal and awesome! Vietnam soldiers meet Dinosaurs and tons of violence and tension throughout. Very fun listen and I absolutely can not wait for the next stories in the series! Bring on The Primitive War!

Spellbinding

The Primitive War series has a kind of magic that ensnares the reader from start to end, and to have June bring that magic to life with his spellbinding narration is a pure delight.

Everything, from the innocence and excitement, to the sheer depths of horror and dark adrenaline have been painted in vivid, sometimes haunting tones.
The accents bring forth a new life to beloved characters, and fresh emotions to unforgettable moments.
I once again feel like I’ve run every step and felt every pang and emotion alongside the unforgettable characters I’ve grown to know and love like family.

This is an absolute delight for old fans and an intoxicating gateway to ensnare new ones to the fandom.

I sincerely hope there will be more audiobooks to come in the not too distant future!!
