DoyouthinkI'mstupid? Wait. Don'tanswerthat.
There are authors like Michael Crichton whose stories push just slightly beyond the boundaries of scientific reality but still maintain respectable believability. Jurassic Park for instance. Then there is this book, where science is just stomped on and thrown out the window.
This book, dear reader, is filled with so much horse poo, you could bury it in your garden and feed the whole neighborhood with the veges it would grow.

This is a sequel of sorts to Spinosaurus, following Brett after that adventure as he wrestles snakes and alligators for money in a jungle town. The Organization, who were responsible for the death of his family, now need him to lead an expedition to an island lost world in search of a missing scientist and the weapon that the group paid him to build. In return, Brett demands the name of the person who killed his family, but can he trust that he will get the correct information? Are The Organization going to double-cross him? But more importantly, are any of them going to survive the horrors on the island?
I hoped this would be good but it felt like a bad B movie in reality. It was like a monster would attack and kill someone, Brett would find a solution or the soldiers would kill it, then they moved on down the path until something new attacked and that pattern repeated over and over for the whole book. I'm not saying that there isn't something enjoyable about man eating plants, dinosaurs and mutant insects because they ARE fun, but it seemed like the monsters attacked a small bit of path, then didn't follow when the group moved on so the next monster could have a go at them. It felt a bit repetitive and like a conveyor belt taking them through the various monsters to reach the mad scientist. The whole story once they met him went a bit dumb and the abrupt ending was disappointing. Brett was a normal guy in Spinosaurus but now he is built like The Rock, is an arrogant arse and is obsessed with getting his ex back all through the expedition. A bit of focus, eh Brett? I didn't like him at all in this book. There is also the constant childish sniping and bitching between characters which was annoying, the soldiers were the dumbest idiots you could ever meet, the reunited lovers story was a side plot we really didn't need and the scientific babble from the scientist went way over my head. The best character goes off on his own mission as soon as they arrive on the island and isn't mentioned again until the very end, which was also annoying!
I just didn't really enjoy the book at all. Spinosaurus was ok but this follow up was lacking in many ways in comparison. The writing wasn't great and the plot just lacked the real tension and scares I wanted as it was too predictable. You knew who was going to die next and that as they escaped one thing, the next was waiting on the next page. In the end I was just glad to get it over with and move on to something else. I think this will be the last book I read by the author. Disappointing! 2 stars because so many annoying characters were eaten.

I know these books aren't numbered but read Spinosaurus first if you want to truly grasp what's going on with the characters.
Otherwise it was a fun short read.

The Found World
Awesome. It was exciting, witty, and scary. The last third of the book was serious and altogether hilarious. The ending was rather surprising, but I think there will be more to our hero's story. Or, I hope so. I will be in the lookout. Hopefully, the Organization won't find out the secret about Brett, but he is on a mission and he will be ready for him. If you have not read Spinosaurus, you may want to. It is the book before this one and has many of the same characters. Enjoy.

A different kind of adventure story.
Those that like dinosaur books should like this one. It has a sampling of bad and good events. Who gets ate next and be careful walking in the fields and woods that happens to be next to the road where your car; boat or plane lands. The bush with the pretty flowers just might try sampling your arm to see if you are tasty enough to eat!

This was a fun and thrilling book.
I LOVE cryptic, dinosaurs, and smart a** humor and all were included.
The characters are fun too!

Technical
There was a lot of technical jargon and even more action adventure.
I liked the characters. The end was even more surprising.

The best part of this book is its size. At just over 130 pages it is a short novel.
Inspired by the books of the lost world, jurrassic worlds, centre of the earth, land lost in time and numerous others with modern weapons and a novel idea of climate change.
Rest of the story is a movie material for the syfy channel or others basically a low budget creature movie.
The creatures and their ideation is good.

Not good
This book had potential but it failed. Everyone in this book is slightly stupid. Even highly educated scientists say the most idiotic things. And characters aren’t developed for you to care about them one bit.

Review of this book
This was an excellent reading experience. It wss fast paced, and the continuity was great. The story was compelling, and exciting. I stayed up all night to finish the book. The ending was unexpected, but made the story that much better.

Enjoyable read. Brett Russell is hired by an "Organization" man to track down a scientist who has a super weapon they want to get their hands on. He hiding under a volcanic island in a lost world.
