Reads like a lost Burroughs' novel

I had never heard of this book. I was searching a list of books read by Mark Nelson and it sounded interesting. I'm glad I gave it a listen. It is very much in the style of Burroughs' John Carter of Mars and Pellucidar series. It's shorter than I expected and when I was on the final chapter I thought there was no way it would get wrapped up and I assumed I'd be searching for a second book to see it through. Nope, somehow the entire story was completed in the final minutes. Despite the rushed ending the story was intriguing and the characters were colorful. I wish the setting had been fleshed out over 2 or 3 books. The world was imaginative and the characters were just starting to grow on me when everything ended. As always, Mark Nelson is the main attraction. His reading is impeccable and he can transmogrify a mediocre story into a page turner (which is probably in his best interest since he is the one turning the pages).

I was kind of of disappointed, it felt like I was listening to a abridged retelling of Edgar Rice Burroughs, "John Carter Mars" series. There was nothing remotely unique in the story. Mark Nelson did an excellent job of reading as usual.
The most backward bumbling book I've ever read

Mark caused me to stick to the end. The hero in this book was so upsetting. He just stumbled his way to the last full stop. He even managed to kill himself... its a No from me Bob....
Last book read by Mark ❤️🩹 I hope there are more to come!

If you enjoy the Barsoom series from Edgar Rice Burroughs, you'll enjoy this book.
