Got through 40% when I decided that was enough ( ) To be honest, I bought this book at the library for $1, as a light holiday read. I've spent longer reading this book than any other in my life, primarily because I kept dipping in and out, and other stuff kept getting read in the middle. Three pages here, fifteen pages there. At one point I didn't think I was even going to finish it. But, I actually really enjoyed it! The modern day sections were the least enjoyable, and potentially the author thought so too because there were so few of them, but maybe they exist because the author is planning some spin off series. The premise is far fetched, a maximum security prison, transported back through time, to the time of the dinosaurs, and through some bizarre time warp, so too were the Spanish Conquisidors, the Cherokee Indians, and the people of the Mounds all were too, all ending up in a heap at the time of the dinosaurs. From there on in, its the survival of the fittest, or survival of those armed with modern day weapons. Sounds far fetched I know, but it really is an absorbing read! If the author had foregone the modern day bits, I probably would have given it 5 stars. I found this 2008 hardcover at the Mennonite charity shop in New Hamburg. The prisoners and staff of a maximum security prison find the entire facility has been sent back in time by millions of years. As the stressed out staff try to keep the prisoners in check, they find that other people from different times in Illinois history have been sent back, too. They include Cherokees on the Trail of Tears, and de Soto and his men who had been exploring the area while taking slaves and stealing treasure. A very contrived situation, but handled well, with believable characters and non-stop action. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Something had thrown the prison back in time millions of years. And they were not alone. Humans from periods millennia apart had been dropped into the same time. Dinosaurs and conquistadores walk outside the walls, human savagery ferments inside... and the staff are trapped in the middle. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
