5.0 out of 5 stars Primeval brilliance., 2 Aug 2009
By Mr. Kenneth Halstead (england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
my dad ordered this book for me. i'd just finished my english GCSE when the primeval book came and i was really pleased. i was a little upset to find that cutter wasn't in it but i do like Danny as a character. this book was a bit too graphic in detail for my twelve year old sister and i read it to her cutting out the gruesome parts. it's a book that can have you laughing at one point and ridgid to your seat with fear the next. i love all the characters and it's brilliantly written with superb detail and i read it all over again. it's a book that you can't put down until the end. Cutter is missed in it but the gripping plot makes up for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars No "Fraud" Involved, Best Entry in the Series, 14 Jul 2009
By Pelaphus (Long Island City, New York USA) - See all my reviews
The disappointed reviewer on this page was almost certainly not misled deliberately: likely author Simon Guerrier's original outline did feature the characters of Nick Cutter and Jenny Lewis, and he was asked to retool it when the re-casting went down (and that was very likely why, as he mentions in an afterword, he was invited onto the set to watch filming; he'd have had no exposure to the new characters otherwise, if the release of the book were to coincide with the middle of Season Three). To Guerrier's everlasting credit, though, the reconception has made it seem as if this were a story meant to feature Danny and Sarah all along, and he captures their personae, as well as those of the veteran regulars, perfectly.

More impressive still, though he's dealing with the weakest continuity of the TV show (it not only jumped the shark in Season Three, it kissed it, seduced it, humped it and sent it flowers), he has written the strongest of the four novels. In part he seems to have had advantages the previous three scribes didn't have, in re: greater familiarity and (possibly) fewer restrictions, what with the show foundering and losing both focus and perspective (ironically, as an "outside" freelancer, working in prose, he got to pull various disparate elements together) --

-- but he's also managed to create a tale in which multiple, seemingly independent, storylines converge on a reveal (not to be spoiled here) that has more urgency and somewhat higher emotional stakes than just rampaging prehistoric creatures running around where they don't belong.

With the show having been canceled, this fourth book is probably the last novel in the series, but it makes for a delightful (if unintentional) finale; and indeed, kind of shows Danny and Sarah off to better advantage than the show ever did, by putting them (as well as the others) in situations that best exploit their personality traits and kinds of expertise. Probably not optimally effective as a standalone novel, but for fans of PRIMEVAL it earns high marks as one last, very decent ride in the dinoverse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two enthusiastic thumbs up, 20 Jun 2009
By L. Phillips (Yorkshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book to read an holiday while I was sunning myself on the beach and enjoyed it so much that I'd read it within four days! The characterisations are spot on and it's full of twists and turns. I'd recommend this to any Primeval fan, especially if you like Connor/Abby.
