Non-stop action from beginning to end
4.5 out of 5 stars
The United States is in for a surprise when billionaire and megalomaniac William DeKirk decides to unleash his prion enhanced zombies and zombie dinosaurs on it. Starting in major port cities and moving inward, the zombies and zombie dinos will begin to force the US back into the stone age and kill or convert almost everyone in their wake.
The narration for Jurassic Dead 2 was done by Andrew Tell, who does another fantastic job. His narration style really lends itself to this story — allowing the listener to dive deep into the story and become fully immersed. Tell is one of those narrators if I were an author, I would be knocking on his door to narrate my books.
Now that Chesler and Sakmyster have book one out of the way, they slam their feet on the gas and won’t let off for the entire second book. I’m glad that I had to work in between listening to this book, or I don’t know if I would have come up for air. The story really enticed me and I found myself sitting in my car after my drive home to listen to a few more minutes of it.
The plot was interesting. It allowed for a lot more action to take place along with a lot more carnage and destruction. The authors really make DeKirk out to be an incredibly hateable villain, and he is glad to fill that part. DeKirk is back for the second book and worse than ever. His character growth is an interesting tale to follow, along with all the ill-will he is trying to rain down on US cities.
Overall, Jurassic Dead 2 was a really enjoyable character-driven zombie-hybrid novel. I really found myself feeling for the characters throughout the novel, at times actually feeling pain when emotional things were happening to them. Chesler and Sakmyster really know what they are doing, and I will definitely be back for the third installment.
