Jurassic Island

Things go to hell in a hurry once the team reaches the island and the massive megalodon that attacked their boats is only the beginning of their desperate fight for survival.

On Spectre Island, your life expectancy is measured in minutes, not years.
Three and a half stars
Okay, so there are grammatical errors, poor science, typos and plot inconsistencies (1 1/2 stars off for the poor editing) - but there are Dinosaurs, and non-stop chomping action from beginning to end. My fascination with prehistoric creatures continues unabated, but it's just a pity nobody has written any dino tales lately with say, the talent of Michael Crichton, Arthur Conan Doyle or Deborah O'Neill Cordes.
Even though this reads like a C Grade movie, I enjoyed it, but felt the ending needed more teeth - so to speak.

The book was a bit shallow. I guess I got spoiled by Michael Crichton.

Colt may be a little on the washed upside as his wife left him and he's getting drunk in a bar. That's when his whole life changed a rich billionaire offers him a lot of money and once in a lifetime chance. An island has popped up on a satellite that wasn't there the day before and it races to see what's really on the island before Mr. Thornton's competition arrives. After a quick flight Colt and the rest of the gathered crew arrive at a dock with boats that will take them to the island.
However, not everyone will make it as something big is lurking in the water and has his sights set on lunch. Colt and his small group survive the monster in the water only to arrive on the mysterious island. No one has been to the island before and it's been sine the 40's when it was last seen. It becomes quickly apparent that the inhabitants are prehistoric dinosaurs who are intent on keeping Colt from leaving the island.
I like Colt he's one of those guys I can see a little of myself in. Throw enough money and I might even head to the island. We have some interesting teammates but the story is told from Colts point of view as he's our hero. I found Mr. Thornton our rich Billionaire exactly how I would expect, he's not prepared for what they find and when things get back he keeps pushing forward.
Jurassic Island is just that a mysterious island of prehistoric killer monsters. I have to admit the monster lurking in the ocean was my favorite but that could because I a little addicted to those. I like the characters even some that died horrible deaths I was sad to see them go. I wasn't sure about Colt but he grew on me as the book progressed. Jurassic Island is a modern meets prehistoric monster story lots of running for their lives, blood, death, and sharp teeth. I enjoyed it because I love dinosaurs and seeing them in this dark gore filled light was refreshing. It's like a bloodier whirlwind Jurassic Park. The story was fast paced and easy to finish in one sitting. I'm a little curious to see if we will get another installment as some made it off the island. As a monster horror, I thought it fit the bill perfectly. I even had my teenager reading at the same time and he enjoyed it.

Yes, I hear you. My first impression of this title was that it would be a spin-off of the Jurassic books and movies we all know. Its first chapter was actually included at the end of The Fossil – although it’s by a different author. So, I took the bait and read the first chapter and it intrigued me enough to get the book and give it a go.
This novella was a little longer than The Fossil, at around 130 pages. ‘Colt’ McKinnon is an out of work TV star – who used to have a show about the ‘unusual’. He, along with a mixed band of new associates are gathered together by a billionaire to explore a new discovery in the southern Indian Ocean – Jurassic Island.
Although the early chapter that I mentioned above hooked me, I’m sorry to say that the rest of the book didn’t seem original to me at all. The plot was very predictable and I felt it was just meandering through a list of events that occur in all similar stories. I hate to be negative but it just didn’t connect with me. There was nothing in Jurassic Island that I felt was memorable enough to make it stand out from the crowd.

Read this book for Dinovember! And this book did not disappoint in the dino action! Loved the island of a unexplored island that for some reason keeps appearing and disappearing over the years. Would have loved to have more about why that was happening. There were a few theories thrown out, but nothing was really established one way or the other. Very action pack, but way too short of a story! It was so much fun but over before you knew it. Ending sets up for book 2.

This is a fast-paced, rather short, adventure, creature-feature novel that some how manages to be bland at the same time. Also, not terribley realistic, and I'm not talking about the dinosaurs or the mysteriously here-again/gone-again island. On the other hand, if you want to read about prehistoric critters eating people, then this might provide some brief entertainment.

I enjoyed this book, and it was a good, fast read. I would recommend it to everyone, however, that said, I felt like it was missing something. Will definitely buy more by this author though

Wow what a nightmare. They found an island that disappears and reappears. A team goes in to explore it. They find more than they bargained for.

B-Movie-Action auf Papier: Unterhaltsam, aber holprig
Wer bei Jurassic Island ein durchdachtes Sci-Fi-Werk wie Michael Crichtons Jurassic Park erwartet, wird schnell auf den harten Boden der Tatsachen zurückgeholt. Was Viktor Zarkov hier abliefert, ist die literarische Reinform eines 80er-Jahre Creature-Features: hohes Tempo, ein noch schneller ansteigender Bodycount und eine Truppe, die erstaunlich resistent gegen jeden gesunden Menschenverstand zu sein scheint.
Der Protagonist... den man stummschalten möchte
Unser MC Christopher „Colt“ McKinnon ist ein geschiedener, abgehalfterter Ex-TV-Moderator aus der Kryptozoologie-Ecke, der nach seinen besten Tagen für schnelles Geld auf eine unkartierte Insel reist. Seine Witze landen flach und er scheint für praktisch niemanden (ausser für hübsche Frauen) ein nettes Wort übrigzuhaben. Statt echter Charakterentwicklung oder Tiefgang glänzt er vor allem damit, von oben herab über seine Mitstreiter zu ranten oder ununterbrochen über seine frühere TV-Karriere zu schwafeln (ja Colt, wir haben es kapiert: Du warst mal berühmt und hattest eine eigene Show). Getragen wird er während dem Abenteuer nicht von Sympathie oder Fähigkeiten, sondern einzig und allein von einer Plot-Armor, die dicker ist als die Osteoderme eines Ankylosauriers.
Die Paläontologische Einkaufsliste und die B-Movie-Formel für den Plot
Das Worldbuilding bedient stur die bekannteste Dino-Hitparade: Megalodon, Pterosaurier, Compsognathus, Velociraptor-/Deinonychus-Verschnitte, Brontosaurus und natürlich der unvermeidliche T-Rex. Dass der Grossteil der Kreaturen aus unterschiedlichen Erdzeitaltern stammen und der Name Jurassic reines Marketing ist, verzeiht man dem Genre zwar gerne; etwas mehr Mut bei der Kreaturenauswahl hätte dem Setting aber definitiv mehr Profil verliehen. Warum zum Beispiel kein Exemplar aus der Familie der Plesiosauria, zumal Colt doch in seiner TV-Show Nessie gesucht hat?
Die Handlung folgt den unausweichlichen Gesetzen des B-Movie-Horrors. Die Charaktere werden quasi im Minutentakt abgearbeitet, kaum dass sie das Flugzeug verlassen haben. Highlights wie ein waghalsiges Pterosaurier-Rodeo, unfreiwillig komische "Famous Last Words"-Momente, Fehlentscheidungen oder Handlungen mit Zielscheiben-Garantie und ein Ende, das fast noch überstürzter wirkt als der Aufbruch der Reisenden, runden das Trash-Erlebnis ab.
Zum Abschluss bleibt mir nur noch zu sagen...
Jurassic Island will gar nicht mehr sein als ein rasanter, anspruchsloser Monster-Pulp für zwischendurch (zumindest hoffe ich das). Literarisch sicher kein Meisterwerk und vollgestopft mit Logiklücken – aber wer sein Hirn an der Garderobe abgibt und einfach zusehen will, wie schlecht vorbereitete Menschen in bester „Zehn kleine Jägermeister“-Manier den Löffel abgeben, erhält genau das.
Das Buch an sich war keineswegs eine absolute Vollkatastrophe – es besass durchaus seinen pulpigen Unterhaltungswert und die Prämisse bot eigentlich jede Menge Potenzial. Letztlich fehlte es mir jedoch schlichtweg an echtem Tiefgang, um mich über die gesamte Distanz bei Laune zu halten. Spätestens nach dem dritten „Wetten, XY stirbt als Nächstes?“ gefolgt von einem befriedigten, aber ernüchternden „HA! Ich wusste es!“, verliert das rapide Dahinscheiden des Ensembles seinen eigentlichen Reiz. So kam es, dass sich die Lektüre trotz der erstaunlich geringen Seitenzahl stellenweise doch etwas zäh anfühlte. Unterm Strich hat mir der entscheidende Funke gefehlt: Ein Hauch mehr Originalität, kreativer Mut beim Creature-Design und vor allem Charakteren, die mehr sind als blosse Platzhalter auf einer prähistorischen Speisekarte.

A billionaire expedition heads to a mysterious island that has suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean. What starts as a scientific discovery quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival.
Let's be honest—if you pick up a book called Jurassic Island, you know exactly what you're here for. Dinosaurs eating people, plenty of action, and absolutely no one making sensible decisions. It delivers exactly that.
This is a really quick, easy read that doesn't waste time getting to the action. Once the expedition reaches the island, it's pretty much chaos from start to finish. There's a good mix of dinosaurs, plenty of tense moments, and enough creature attacks to keep any dino fan entertained. It definitely gave me Jurassic Park and The Lost World vibes, even if it never quite reaches those heights.
The characters aren't especially deep, but that's not really why I picked this one up. I wanted dinosaurs causing havoc, and that's exactly what I got. The short length keeps the pace moving, although I do think another 50–100 pages would've helped flesh out both the characters and the island itself a bit more.
If you're after a fun, popcorn-style dinosaur thriller that you can fly through in a couple of sittings, this is well worth checking out. Just don't expect groundbreaking storytelling—expect dinosaurs, danger, and a whole lot of running.

At under 2 hours of reading this is about an okay story.
Viktor has written a AC Doyle's Lost World wannabe based on a disappearing island in the pacific. The story tries to connect atomic explosions to its origin.
So far so good.
This is a very competitive genre that doyens of english novelists have been contributing to over the last century or so. Recently in the last couple of decades this vertical in all its glory with various spins has been privy to some superb imaginative writing by scores of writers who have written books from short stories to full length novels including trilogies and tetralogies, some original thought and several inspired by others.
Jurassic Island falls at a lower scale in this sea of books. It starts of great with a billionnaire who has lined relevant pockets to keep up an information flow and who decides to follow his dream headlong into oblivion and who does not have anyone to support and execute his plans for him.
The story deviates and meanders into the island and moves into B-movie territory from the syfy channel. The length saves the story but it ends well and leaves some breadcrumbs to pursue reading the follow-up sequel. 2.5 stars.

Fast paced thriller!
First off, the book is well written and doesn't waste time getting to down to business. That business involving people coming into contact with dinosaurs. And we all know that those encounters never end well, especially for the people.
The storyline is like Lost World along with the running, screaming, and crunching out of the Jurassic Park movies. In other words, it's a straight forward dino action story with a been there, done that a few times feel to it.
If you like that type of book, you won't be disappointed.
Not a lot of character depth, but hey they're too busy trying to avoid being eaten, to have any relationship building. The benefit here as that not being too invested in the characters limits the grieving process.
Still, the story is well written and delivers the action for this genre. It'll entertain you but not stay with you.

A good action book which I may well buy the sequel. While it's decent it does very much feel like an opening episode as it doesn't really explain why the island is the way it is or who some of the characters are. Obviously planning on later reveals which I can make an educated guess at but won't say here. It also suffers in that it occasionally goes from third person narrative to first for a paragraph before switching back, this isn't a world ending problem but does shift you out of the story flow when it occurs. This should have been picked up in the edit. If expect this will be a series that runs for a few books.
January 10, 2025
Honestly, I was torn between giving this 1.5 and 2 stars.
However, as it is readable and had a decent premise I’ll go with 2. The book itself is really poorly paced, everything happens so fast and essentially all the characters are dead in the blink of an eye. You don’t really have the time, space or build up to care about what’s happening. And the author throws in as many dinosaurs as he can in a short period of time that it feels like Dino roulette.
I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re really looking for a meh read with the skeleton of something that could have been interesting.

Interesting story
Being a fan of this genre, I have read books that have been great. And books that made me feel I had wasted my time because they were so bad. This adventure tale falls in the middle. There were some editing problems that became annoying while reading and the overall ending seemed rushed. The characters were barely explored, leaving house one dimensional. However, the storyline moved quickly and had enough excitement to keep the reader going.

Good dinosaur story
First things first my only dislike of this was some of the dates that are mentioned in it were wrong. No nuclear tests in the Pacific during WW II. I liked the idea of a mystery island that appears and disappears. Then there were the Meg and all of the dinosaurs what more could you ask for. Spoiler alert the body count is very high and some of th characters were likable. If you like man versus dinosaurs then try this one on for size.

A decent thriller based upon the popular dinosaur movies but not in the same universe. I found it too short and easily read which were my only real issues with it. I would have liked for the romantic interest to have stuck around longer but the writer had other ideas. I would read the next book in the series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Whoever wrote this book doesn't understand the relationship between continuity and the story line. Example: The plane was to land on an aircraft carrier, not a dirt runway.
And you're being handed the story line as if you were a fourteen year old kid, sorry but I just couldn't stand it anymore and quit reading after about four or five chapters....

Christopher 'Colt' McKinnon is approached to go to a mysterious island that only appears occasionally, with it's latest sighting, a team rushes to explore. After being attacked by a giant shark on the way, they probably should have turned back! What they find is a forgotten land and they are soon running for there lives.
October 21, 2018
This was a dinosaur story I could have done without. I'm sorry, Viktor, but this one was just a bit too gloomy for me... I probably wouldn't read another one of this author's books, but to be truthful, the way this one turned out is probably more realistic than most.

Intriguing book. Want more of the same.

Easy to read, decent suspense, not as much visualization of the environment (trees, grass, rocks, animals insects) as I would have liked. No spoilers, just a fast read.

Nice reading if you are looking for some short dino stuff.

Great book
Very good story. What surprised me was the ending, never would have guessed. I thought it was a very well written story. I recommend reading.

Entertaining read
This book is a quick, entertaining read. It had a couple factual mistakes that a decent editor should have caught.

The book was thrilling and fast paced. I very much enjoyed the plot and storyline however there were some errors in the writing. I can look past that though because I had fun reading this book.
