Had any of us read anything from Bradbury, we would have been spared the horror of meeting the new apex predators that had replaced both the dinosaurs and the human race when we travelled back to the present.
The rest of the world put pictures of our flags in their profile pictures and carried on as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Hope this is ok to post here- figured may as well ask a dinosaur subreddit group.
I also have God’s junk drawer on audible, and tomorrow’s flight and Fracture (by Matt James) on kindle.
Basically looking for anything that will scratch that Jurassic park/lost world itch for me and keep my hyper fixation satisfied.
Back when I had a membership, I had the first book of Lost Eden for free and found that to be a decent listen.
Primordia has got a badass narrator who also narrated the great zoo of china- Jurassic park but with archosaur dragons.
Geoff Jones I know from the dinosaur four which was a well contained and fun listen.
But any advice or recommendations? If not I’ll probably just get the first book of two of the trilogies and a full cast audiobook for something else so I have a bit of variety.
As I lay on the jungle floor immobilised by an ultrasonic cry, I concluded that mutating brown bats into human sized predators to combat the locust issue was an ambitious but ultimately horrible idea.
(This is a sentence from my two sentence horror story which got a lot of upvotes. For context, a silverback in a zoo loves seeing the children who visit his enclosure, but then a zombie contagion breaks out and overruns the zoo. The silverback manages to climb out of his enclosure and fights off the horde.)
Go nuts! He can survive, he can get infected, he could succumb to his wounds- your choice!
I’m glad we both got too scared to try and both dream it, as our neighbours who told me the idea disappeared last night, and a bunch of human bones just appeared in a late Jurassic dig site…
The next day, they heard that their friends next door had vanished from their rooms, and that on the news, a pair of partially intact small human skeletons were found buried together in a late Jurassic excavation site…
Primal has sparked a new obsession with cavemen battling or riding dinosaurs.
I’ve so far added to my kindle collection works from Tarzan, the ERB universe and a few select works from Conan the Barbarian, like Red Nails and the first issue of the 2024 Savage Sword of Conan.
Then there’s Thun’da, Rogue: The Savage Land, Valiant Comic’s Savage, Shanna the She Devil and of course, Turok and King Kong.
I also have the Age of Reptile comics which also inspired Genndy Tartakovsky’s visual storytelling- he left an acknowledgement in the omnibus collection.
Does anyone know of any other badass anachronistic stories similar to Primal?
I realise this is confined to superheroes and Star Wars characters, but having read Alien and Predator, I think Jurassic World could afford to push the boat out and get back into the comic scene, starting with the comic set in the first trilogy period- hence the title Jurassic Park Black White and Red.
Any thoughts, like seeing human characters go up against Rexy, The Big One, Buck and Doe and the tiger raptor pack and also other dinosaurs like the camouflaging Carnotaurus without plot armour and actual blood?
Granted the front window got smashed during Ripley’s rescue, but could the cannons and all the other gear it was packing hold off the xenos in time for the second dropship to arrive?
Or would the Queen simply had sent more to overwhelm the survivors?
