I’ve only read one other book about dinosaurs, and that was set on a lost continent. When I came across this one, I thought—why not?
It’s a twist on the usual post-apocalyptic novels I tend to read. A fast-paced, character- and dialogue-driven tale of beasts invading the city. Invading? Annihilating, more like. I won’t lie—it’s gory, and there are a few interesting pencil-drawn graphics at the beginning of some chapters, which I really liked.
What keeps the story moving is the different narratives unfolding. These characters have no connection to each other, and as always, I’m hoping they’ll eventually be drawn together as survivors fighting side by side. We’ll see—this is just the start of the series.
The first book is free, and I’d hoped the rest might be in Kindle Unlimited, but sadly not. I’d rather not buy more just yet, but with my birthday coming up, I’ve added them to my Amazon wish list and am hoping someone might gift me the next one. 😁
Thankfully, the story doesn’t end on a cliffhanger—am I the only one who hates those?—but it’s still very much incomplete.
A great start to a series if you enjoy this kind of story.

Lambs: World Gone Down (Survivors: Volume 1): the thrilling debut novel from Benton Ford, the hottest new name in post-apocalyptic science fiction, a masterful tale of a civilisation on the verge of collapse.
On a warm summer’s afternoon, something goes wrong. The power goes down, bombs falls from the sky, and monstrous creatures begin stalking the streets.
As the people turn against each other, the survivors must come to terms with this new world and their own place within it. Teenagers Emily and Kenny battle to cross the wasteland that London has become. Unassuming nurse Alan Graf must battle to protect his dying father as the world collapses around them. And escaped convict Mark Raine faces a race against time to get back to the family he loves.
Nothing for any of them will ever be the same again. All they know is that the world they had known is gone, and that in this new world, they are no longer top of the food chain. No longer the predators, now they are nothing more than lambs…
