THE DEADLIEST PREDATORS
OF THREE SEPARATE EONS

Captain Andy Blacklock was overseeing the change of shifts at the state of Illinois' maximum-security prison when the world outside was suddenly ripped. They thought it was an earthquake until they found that the Mississippi River had disappeared, along with all signs of civilization. Then the sun came up—in the wrong direction. And a dinosaur came by and scratched its hide against the wall of the prison ...

Something had thrown the prison back in time millions of years. And they were not alone. Other humans from periods centuries, even millennia, apart had also been dropped into the same time. Including a band of murderous conquistadores. But the prison had its own large population of murderers. They couldn't be turned loose, but what else could be done with them

Death walked outside the walls, human savagery was planning to break loose inside, and Stephens and the other men and women of the prison's staff were trapped in the middle.

    The story is ok but it is definitly a dead end. Outside of the rings is nothing but dino's. Do they speak? Are they intelligent? There can be no interaction, except to kill them.

    First, let me say that I truly enjoy the 1632 series, and have read what has been published several times.

    To my mind, this book is a transitional book to open up more possibilities with regard to the event that was responsible for the ring of fire. In that regard I think it is okay, not great, but okay.

    I found the character development rushed, and incomplete in many cases.

    I did not find the attention to detail that so captivated me with 1632. Granted, it is most likely much easier to pay attention to detail when you have history books etc to guide you, but I would have thought quite a bit more thought could have gone into how the villages were established, the relationships between the different villages, as well as the relationships between the different groups.

    Many of the prison scenes were done very well, and to the best of my knowledge (of which I do have some personal knowledge) relatively accurate.

    In 1632, Mike Sterns came into power, and the process was clearly defined. Here, Andy came into power, and the process was not so clearly defined. Yes he was the 'boss', but that does not necessarily mean he gets to be the big boss unless you are establishing a dictatorship.

    If I had to put into a nutshell what I found lacking in this book, I would say that it is as though the book had to go from A to B. The book could only be X words long. The authors had to cut out far to much to meet those criteria.

    I wish I could rate this at a 2.5, or 2.75. It is not a bad book, but it is not truly an okay book either. It is somewhere between the two.

    Is it worth buying? Probably, maybe even most likely, as it looks as though it will be required reading for books to come.

    I love how he blends so many series into a colelctive whole. I'd like to continue the ther stories more than I would like to read more in this book. Even if it was a very good read.

    While I usually like Eric Flint. I thought this book was trash. None of the reactions of any of the characters made much sense to the situations involved. At least some of the Guards would decide its not worth working when your not getting paid and have to work 3x harder to keep worthless scum alive besides- yet we don't get a single guard who doesn't gladly keep right on working.
    Not to mention what advantage do the locals have to keep prisoners alive and feed them? they were hardly librials and don't even have a concept of a jail- yet they don't resent the fact that they have to work to feed people just sitting around.
    All in all- wholely unbelievable.

    An excellent read, the guards and the cons were not sterotyped. The characters whether they be villians or heroes had full characterizations

    Great. I read the sample and bought the ARC and pulled an all-nighter because I got too interested. Lots of spin-offs could come from this book.

    This was a very good book. Good characterizations. As a Corrections Officer, I was impressed with the even handedness that the authors treated both the
