À propos de cet audio

A manuscript illuminated with fantastical creatures said to have roamed the Garden of Eden, the bestiary has been handed down throughout the centuries by one of the Arab world's most prominent families. Commissioned to restore it is the beautiful young art curator Beth Cox. But it is Beth's husband, Carter - a paleontologist making his own dire discoveries in Los Angeles's famed La Brea Tar Pits - who will be led by the bestiary into a living, breathing menagerie of wonders and horrors.

Oh, Robert Masselo. I love you, but dang, your research wasn’t up to its usual standard, here- the treatment of the discussion around the ethical disposal of human remains in an archaeological/museological context wasn’t exactly fair and balanced. There’s a lot more to it then “irrational” Native Americans and woo-woo religious types versus the unimpeachable logic of capital S Science.
But other than that. And other than the totally unnecessary and cringey love scene. And the author's use of "lighted" instead of the more common "lit" every time... This was a fun one. This time, the gimmick is the titular bestiary. There’s no corresponding plot featuring a fictionalized account of a historical figure in this one- instead we get two interconnected plots- one for one member of the protagonist couple, and one for the other. You can tell this is one of his earlier entries into that very specific genre that he goes on to totally own. It's not as detailed or involved, with more action and explosions and... it got very Jurassic World 2 at the end. Which I enjoyed. A lot. In fact, I wonder if the screenwriters may have taken some inspiration..?
It was very much an action adventure cinematic sort of read, and it was a nice change of pace for me.

pretty good
