Title: The Land That Time Forgot

Author: Edgar Rice Burroughs

Narrator: William Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-31-17

Publisher: Audioliterature

Publisher's Summary:

"The Land That Time Forgot" is a fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The novel is set in World War I and opens with a thermos off the coast of Greenland. It contains a story, the narrative of Bowen J. Tyler, an American passenger on a ship sunk in the English Channel by a German U-boat, U-33, in 1916. He is rescued by a British tugboat with another survivor, Lys La Rue. The tug is also sunk, but its crew manages to capture the submarine when it surfaces. They are unable to bring it to port, and the British and German mariners continuously fight for the U-33.

They end up in a thermal lake in Antarctic waters. On the shore of the lake the crew builds a palisaded base, named Fort Dinosaur for the area's prehistoric fauna. Oil is discovered, and the Germans run away with the submarine. A series of adventures ensues among various bands of near-human primitives, each on a different stage of human advancement, as represented by their weaponry.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.

U-571 Meets The Lost World

This is the classic "Dinosaur Island" tale. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World" is about contemporary with this one, written in the WWI period. It precedes the spate of 50s Dinosaur Island movies (such as the 1957 "The Land Unknown"), and of course, "Jurassic Park" by a number of decades. But, instead of the pulp-hero Professor Challenger and his associates, the dinos and cavemen are confronted by survivors of a torpedoed Allied ship, and of the German U-boat that sank them... and later by a rescue expedition organized to find and bring back those survivors. By today's more finicky standards, this would be a "pulp era adventure", with all the conventions that implies, but it is nonetheless high adventure -- Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, John Carter, and Pellucidar, could really write action scenes! Yes, he does more than a little German-bashing, but remember when these stories were written. (He tried to make up for it, years later, with the likeable German crew of the Zeppelin O-220 in "Tarzan at the Earth's Core"...) This edition not only includes "Land That Time Forgot", but both its sequels -- "The People That Time Forgot" and the somewhat better "Out of Time's Abyss"! (I was a bit surprised to learn in the foreword, that these three tales, though they appeared separately in a magazine, were apparently intended as the three parts of a novel -- a bit like a story arc from B5...) The journey starts off as a submarine story (which, while it doesn't include the later obligatory scene for submarine stories, where the sub dives deeper than it was designed to go, includes lots of intrigue, action, and a couple of takeovers (technically not mutinies) that keep things rolling), but soon develops into a classic "Lost World" tale on an uncharted island full of dinosaurs and cavemen (and Burroughs comes up with an appropriately weird reason why they can coexist), with Our Heroes endangered not only by the natives and local wildlife, but by the egos of the two faction leaders, who should (IMHO) better have set aside their quarrels and worked together here.

Voodoo Days is a treat to read

Voodoo Days was such a treat to read. It was colorful, lively, entertaining and scary all rolled in to one. David Domine has such an amazing writing talent. He is able to make you feel like you are right there experiencing everything alongside of him. When he described his fall walks, I could feel the crisp air and see the colorful leaves. I think his story would make an excellent movie.

Excellent read! By turns funny and frightening

Excellent read! By turns funny and frightening. An interesting location filled with fascinating characters and beautiful, macabre history. I must go!

A fun filled read

David Dominie does it again. He is a wordsmith extraordinar. I found it easy to picture characters and events he spoke of due to his artful way with words.

Buy this book

I loved this book!! It was as funny as it was spooky....a real page turner.

A fun, hilarious, and mysterious read...

Voodoo Days at La Casa Fabulosa by David Domine is a unique memoir. His writing isn't anything like others that I have read. If I didn't know it was nonfiction, I would have thought it was a novel. The creativity and exciting scenes leaves readers with amazing visuals. I can see the writer as each moment happened. His thoughts about how strange everything was...as well as the unexpected outcomes. I love anything with a history. It seems the place the writer bought as his new home, has a ton of it. The architecture is the best. I can only imagine the stories behind it. The characters are eccentric. But they make the reading enjoyable. Some scary, mysterious, and hilarious details will keep readers intrigued. The title of this book also, caught my attention. It pulled me into its contents and from there I was on a journey. Exploring those around the main character. From neighbors to animals, there's a bit of everything you can and couldn't imagine. The humor is great. I definitely enjoyed reading Voodoo Days at La Casa Fabulosa, and I highly recommend it to others.

Don't trust politicians

Opening the book learning about four metahumans having been in prison for thirty years in a Russian cell without seeing the light of day or being without chains sparked my attention and got me thinking about the possible plotline to this book. Great start.

I hated the politics in this book and was angry quite a bit reading. I wanted Sienna to seek revenge for the things that appeared to me as unnecessary harassment and belittling of my girl. I admired her constraint. I was rooting for Sienna to quit and let the agency deal with the evil that was to come on their own...serve them right and maybe teach them a lesson and take the smugness out of them. Yeah, right...politicians will always be vial, self serving and uninterested in the needs of the public...as long as things are "perceived" in a good light for them. I'm still bitter as to what was done to Sienna by the government in this election year!

Sienna had to deal with another metahuman, who hates her and once again plotting her demise while also having to take a back seat in her agency controlling the metahumans. Good to see Reed working beside her. Did I see Scott? J.J. is becoming a special member of the "team". The "voices" in her head, to me, were giving sound advice. Appreciate how they all work together helping Sienna see a more comprehensive view of life, especially in her demanding capacity as leader, protector.

Another good book in this Out of The Box series. Recommend it. Will have to wait until June when the next book is to be released. Can't wait...love me some Sienna.

Two Really Excellent Series

I have been reading this series since I discovered the original books that preceded this series. There are very original characters, realistic problems, sometimes absolutely wild plot twists and each book is planned in such a way that it ties up all the different threads so you are not left thinking "Uh, but what happened to (fill in the blank)?" The female protagonist, Sienna Nealon, is young and impulsive but learns to be disciplined because of the powers she acquires -- sometimes in very unpleasant ways over which she has no control. The original series, "The Girl in the Box" details Sienna's journey from her cloistered life (sometimes literally in a box) where she was never allowed outside and was trained by her mother to be able to fight in many different styles and disciplined rather viciously in response to any slight failure, through only 3 years to being the head of an agency whose purpose is to protect the public from people with powers similar to Sienna's. The series "Out of the Box" continues Sienna's story dealing with typical governmental bureaucrats and officials who have other unspoken agendas using Sienna for their own gain.

This was an enjoyable short story! Charmed is about young love and the adventures two people go through to get back together!

Young Love

Ronnie and John were a couple for almost two years. John told Ronnie he felt they needed a break. Of course, Ronnie was heart broken. Since John was completely human, Ronnie wanted to kill her animal (a large owl). When John broke off their relationship, it was when he got his animal. He was scared.

Hair Bands (Sigh!!! in a googly eyed way)

Absolutely loved this book! Ava's sarcasm and her little side talkings with all of the references (that i acutally understand lol) are perfectly spaced so as not be be overwhelming. The story kept on at a good pace where i never got bored or my own mind wandered during the story. My favorite part though was the very end of the book with Poison (kinda). They were one of my favorite bands growing up so it brought back some good memories and made me nostalgic to get some of my old music out again to listen. :) There were parts in the book that i did about cry though, so it got me to feel all over the spectrum but that's a good thing, and i always knew i didn't like that one creature!!! (won't say more about the creature since i don't want to give anything away)

I will need to relisten to the whole series one after the other just to refresh my memory on who everyone is and where they all came from. I know them and some of the little side talkings say what book we should have listened to, but i know my mind will blank out on who some of the characters are. Absolutely LOVE Nosewart.... almost want one of him for myself... almost! :)

Publisher's Summary:

Siggy J. Alexie is a troubled young woman. Taken from her family as a toddler, abandoned by her adoptive mother into the foster care system as a preteen, she is haunted by a history of abandonment, abuse, and mental health issues. She is also haunted by a demon. Siggy sees ghosts and demons, has conversations with beings she knows aren't really there, suffers from cluster headaches, coffee addiction, and terminal bad language, and has a hot temper that just won't quit. She lives in a crappy trailer in the woods in Bearpaw, Michigan - alone, just the way she likes it. But then she goes and does something heroic and screws up her rotten life even further. She steps in to save the life of Bane, a glitter-punk rock star...who turns out to be a very gifted assassin, sent to uncomplicate a lot of lives by ending hers. Because the DNA test kit Siggy had sent in response to a junk mail advertisement has alerted some very dangerous people to the fact of Siggy's existence and a magical heritage she didn't know was hers.

Bane, in her debt, allows Siggy to escape - for now. Newly homeless, jobless, and perpetually friendless, Siggy takes the one avenue open to her; she travels to Alaska to meet the grandfather who has reached out to her. Siggy isn't sure what kind of reunion she might expect, but she certainly isn't prepared for the reality of Alaska, shabby and breathtaking at once, or the complicated dance of adoption reunion. Or fish head soup. Or a whirlpool in the river that leads to the Underworld...and the answers to questions she didn't even know she had. In order to learn who - and what - she really is, and in order to spare her young niece the same fate she'd suffered as a child, Siggy must travel to the Underworld and meet the grandmother who'd been waiting there for her, become a raven, trick a witch, and convince an arch-demon to make her a weapon fit for a hero.

Best New Urban Fantasy in Years

This book was AMAZING. Brilliant narration. The humor, the way the narrator portrays various characters totally brought them to life for me. The pacing and plotting in this book are brilliant. As usual in most urban fantasy, we learn things as the main character does, however the author gives us a strong wonderful female lead who thinks things through, asks questions, acts and makes decisions. There is no romance in this book either, this is pure urban fantasy which was SO refreshing. The character does make comments about good looking guys she meets, but it is all in passing, they have more serious matters on their mind.

I really hope this is a series. Have not read urban fantasy this good since Jim Butcher.

Cast in Faefire - The Mage Craft Series Book 3

Wow now this was a great story! Marion, Seth, Arawn, Konig, Nori and Violet are just some of the amazing characters you meet within the story. Marion is to marry Konig, who is the Prince of the Autumn Court. Together they are to rule the Winter Court. But the demon, Arawn, becomes the fly in the ointment. He wants revenge from Konig, but more importantly he wants out of Hell to live on Earth in the Sun. Other hurtles must be overcome before the wedding takes place, which includes inviting Angels, humans, witches, werewolves, vampires, sidhe and leaders of the many different factions. Once they have all arrived the fun begins trying to keep the peace. Seth continues his struggles with his future. His concern for Marion is more then just friendship. There is so much unfaithfulness running thought out this story. Lies are a big part of each characters daily life. There is lots of heart pounding action throughout and the story run smoothly. Can't wait for the next book!

Kathy Barber Doyle - 8/23/2017

Seth and Charity are the lights of this book.

I had trouble with this installment of the series. I think I get what the author was trying to but it fell short for me.

Seth and Charity are my favorite characters and I really liked that Charity had someone appreciate her in her true form so that she also started to become more comfortable with herself. She is such a good friend to Seth that it almost makes me sad Marion is his semi-love interest. He may deserve better.

I want to like Marion but her character comes across as very unlikeable in a lot of ways and part of me wants to know what her end game is while the other part of me is searching for any redeemable qualities in her. I enjoy the time that she and Seth are on the page together but I struggle when she is with Konig especially after how he treated her in this book of the series.

There seem to be some parts of this series that just arenât adding up and the flow from book to book isnât going as well as I would have hoped.

Gripping story from beginning to end!!

SM Reine never ceases to amaze me with her books. Just when you thought you knew where she was going with the storyline, wham!, she blindsides you by going in a completely different direction. Part of me wants Marion to go back to being badass Marion so she can kick Konig (& a few others) ass, but I like this version of Marion. Nori got what she deserved. I am disappointed with how things went for Seth, however I'm excited to see what the future brings for him. I'm glad Dana ended up having a little bit of a conscience & helped.

Great as usual

The novel was very interesting and keeps you on your toes as to what is going to happen next. The only draw back is the suspense at the end, of not knowing what is going to happen next. You have to wait until the next novel is written and publish. In which this case can take a long while in coming, since she hasnât announce the next novel of this series. Iâm hoping it well happen very soon. Thanks again for creating this series.

Four series that fit nicely together

Another terrific book by Keri Arthur. The idea of the Phoenix and her mate is novel and different. I enjoy the exploits of Emberly, Rori, and the people they met along the way. I also like how the books fit together with the authors other series: Riley Gentry and Quin, Nikki and Michael, and Risa.

Awesome books.

Keri Arthur is a fantastic writer.

Her take on the supernatural world is superb.

I highly recommend this series.

Publisher's Summary:

Marion Garin is the teenage daughter of Metaraon, the former Voice of God. Now she's also the steward of the Winter Court, which has been in anarchy since a revolution five years earlier.

The problem: Marion still doesn't remember anything that happened before two weeks ago.

Seth Wilder has a lead on her memories - whoever stole them and sold Marion's essence to a demon lord in Sheol. Marion wants to help steal them back, even though that means abandoning the Winter Court to war. And Seth can't seem to tell Marion no.

He wants Marion nearby. Very nearby. Possibly in his teeth. See, Seth has this little problem where he's developing a killing urge, and it seems to be centered primarily on the half-angel girl who adores him. It conflicts with everything Seth believes himself to be: a moral man, a doctor who heals instead of hurts. Yet he's obsessed with Marion. She wants her memories, and he wants her to have them as much as he wants her blood.

They'll work together to make Marion whole, come hell or high water. Even if it means war. Even if it means that Seth might hurt Marion. And damned be the consequences....
