Review: Coffin Dodgers: A Sci Fi Horror Book

Coffin Dodgers: A Sci Fi Horror Book by Tom G.H. Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

You're seeking the ultimate experience, but is the prospect that you'll be dead in the next twenty four hours a thrill too far? Fourteen T-types make landfall on Apocritas - a newly discovered, earth-like planet with extreme sporting challenges to test one's mettle. Only there's an unanticipated additional event - dodging the bullets fired from two of the party's self-appointed hunters. Climbing precipitous peaks, wing suiting from dizzying heights and white-water rafting down a torrent more hazardous than the Colorado, are just three of the stages to be completed. As if that wasn't enough, the native prehistoric animal life is less than friendly. Enough of a challenge? 
They thought they’d be earning accolades from fellow coffin-dodgers and a cash prize, but the greatest reward might just be their continued survival. 
From the author of The Psychonaut comes this fast-paced tale of inter-galactic horror.

My Thoughts:

This was a very interesting, fast paced and action packed book. Coffin Dodgers are basically risk takers. I love that the extreme sports-like competition takes place on a different planet than Earth. I also loved that the wildlife was very like the wildlife during our Cretaceous period. The dinosaurs and the extremely large centipede were a nice touch. The story kept my attention as they attempted to survive one crazy after another. Overall, a very enjoyable book and I would read more by this author.
