About this listen

A grand-scale nuclear war between the US and the United Korean Empire leads to the contamination of Earth’s atmosphere, leaving the planet uninhabitable. Piper, a microbiology intern working under the world-renowned Dr. Landry, is surprised when she is selected to join a last-ditch effort to colonize a planet within a nearby solar system in the Goldilocks Zone.

Leaving behind her peaceful life with her grandmother, Piper and Dr. Landry travel to the far reaches of space to seek out humanity’s last chance at survival.

Four years after leaving Earth, Piper and the team finally arrive on a planet deemed inhabitable for humans. However, they also discover that they are not alone. Unexpected lifeforms pose looming threats just as the team is on the verge of a groundbreaking microbiological discovery that could save Earth.

Folks set out for an alien planet on a mission to save Earth after nuclear disaster. How exactly would this planet save Earth? I finished this book having no idea.

This was astoundingly bland for a book about a dinosaur planet. Take the first contact, where someone sees a raptor. Does the author describe the raptors? Nope. Not then, not ever. Do the characters excitedly talk about dinosaurs or immediately fortify their camp? Nope. In fact, Piper hears about a raptor sighting … and then turns away to get some soil samples. Yes, soil samples.

It’s a lot of making camp, studying the planet, swimming at the beach and girl talk about cute guys.
Oh, and here and there, raptors kill people. The setting, alien life forms, and characters were all blah.

In the final hour, there’s a faceless enemy, a five minute battle, and a nonsensical pivot where the book just ends. There was no dinosaur horror, no post-apocalypse action, no fantastical alien sci-fi.
For a much better adventure on a dino-alien planet, I recommend Shattered Moon by J. G. Cressey.

Dullest dinosaur sci-fi
