Primitives

De: Erich Krauss

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld, Michael Crouch

From New York Times best-selling author Erich Krauss comes Primitives, the story of two unlikely heroes thrust into a post-apocalyptic mission to restore humanity.

Thirty years after the Great Fatigue infected the globe—and the treatment regressed most of the human race to a primitive state—Seth Keller makes a gruesome discovery in his adoptive father’s makeshift lab. This revelation forces him to leave the safety of his desert home and the only other person left in the world…at least, as far as he knows.

Three thousand miles away in the jungles of Costa Rica, Sarah Peoples has made her own discovery—just as horrific, and just as life-changing. It will take her far from the fledgling colony of New Haven, yet never out of reach of its ruthless authoritarian leader.

On separate journeys a world apart, Seth and Sarah find themselves swept up in a deadly race to save humankind. Their fates will come crashing together in an epic struggle between good and evil, where the differences aren’t always clear. Among the grim realities of civilization’s demise, they discover that the remaining survivors may pose an even greater threat than the abominations they were taught to fear.

Fighting for their lives, they’re confronted with a haunting question.

Does humanity deserve to survive?

Primitives is a tale of bravery and self-discovery found in the ruins of a dying world, where the darkest sides of human nature are revealed.

Better than expected

A great story blending today’s reality, a personal journey, and a fictional post-apocalyptic life. The back and forth of the perspectives and storylines until they converge are amazing. Only knock, are the mispronunciations by the female narrator. Besides that, I’m looking forward to book two, The Merry Men.

Really Good!

A different take on the post apocalyptic tale. Kept me hooked until the end and left me wanting to listen to the 2nd book in the series. That’s really all I’m asking for out of a story. Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

so so good. please tell me part 2 is coming?

really great writing and narration! pulled me in immediately. I couldn't stop listening and I'm hoping book 2 is coming soon!

Wow, this book..

This book was an amazing listen. I’m in bed recovering from a surgery that limits my mobility and am so thankful to have found this masterpiece to help take my mind on an harrowing, exciting, thought provoking adventure. The narration is top notch and the story is one that will stick with me for a long time. Can’t wait for the next book!

Must read- especially if you gave Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue, and especially if you haven’t.

Great book by any standard, but as someone with 15 years stolen by Chronic Fatigue, the author’s personal story may actually give me my life back as I start down the same
Road to recovery he found. Finges crossed.

awesome book

I didn't want to stop listening. it's hard for me to find a book that I really enjoy. it's like finding a needle in a hay stack .this is one of those needles

Well done!

I dont write too many reviews.
I wanted to write this short review because I want to encourage people to give it a listen, and because the author asks his readers to do so at the end.
I have listened to almost all PA books out there, and have read the ones not in audio form. This book is up there. It leads, at the end, to a sequel but one can be satisfied with it as a stand alone.
The book is well researched and you can tell the author put alot into it. A lot of PA books are just ripped from templates it seems. This one is not.
It's 1st person taken from two POV's. Both POV's do meet at the end.
It's a good pandemic PA book that I recommend.

Good story!

Interesting premise, well described settings, does hopscotch a little geographically..emotional struggles of characters explored-especially the effects of long-term trauma on trust and optimism. Important tie-in at the end by author..

Never a dull moment!

This was a wild ride that ended way too soon. I can’t wait for Merry Men!

Unique , intriguing and action packed!

Well crafted plot line with excellent character development grounds the fast paced action in this fight to save humanity. I became invested in the two heroes and can't wait for next book!
