Summary
From New York Times bestselling author Erich Krauss comes Primitives， the story of two unlikely heroes thrust into a post-apocalyptic mission to restore humanity。
Thirty years after The Great Fatigue infected the globe—and the treatment regressed most of the human race to a primitive state—Seth Keller makes a gruesome discovery in his adoptive father’s makeshift lab。 This revelation forces him to leave the safety of his desert home and the only other person left in the world…at least， as far as he knows。
Three thousand miles away in the jungles of Costa Rica， Sarah Peoples has made her own discovery—just as horrific， and just as life-changing。 It will take her far from the fledgling colony of New Haven， yet never out of reach of its ruthless authoritarian leader。
On separate journeys a world apart， Seth and Sarah find themselves swept up in a deadly race to save humankind。 Their fates will come crashing together in an epic struggle between good and evil， where the differences aren’t always clear。 Among the grim realities of civilization’s demise， they discover that the remaining survivors may pose an even greater threat than the abominations they were taught to fear。
Fighting for their lives， they’re confronted with a haunting question。
Does humanity deserve to survive？
Primitives， the first book of this saga， is a tale of bravery and self-discovery found in the ruins of a dying world， where the darkest sides of human nature are revealed。

Good read！This is a fun take on dystopian life。 For a teen/young adult book， I could do without the f-bombs。 As a reading teacher， I know that many 8-10 year olds are reading this type of book。 Great ideas。 Looking forward to the follow up。

I received this book from the publisher via Bookluver。 This was and outstanding read; told in two POV。 Namely Seth and Sarah。 The idea that science is interfering and changing humans into animals is scary enough but when you find out that they don't want to stop there it beggars belief。 This book draws the reader in and he/she finds they cannot stop reading。 This is testament to not only to the story but also to how good an author Erich is。 You may question the validity of reading a book that in I received this book from the publisher via Bookluver。 This was and outstanding read; told in two POV。 Namely Seth and Sarah。 The idea that science is interfering and changing humans into animals is scary enough but when you find out that they don't want to stop there it beggars belief。 This book draws the reader in and he/she finds they cannot stop reading。 This is testament to not only to the story but also to how good an author Erich is。 You may question the validity of reading a book that in someways may reflect that we are living through a global pandemic but believe me it is that good a read。 This is just not dystopian fiction but it is a superior version of the art。 Highly recommended 。。。more

I received this e-arc through Netgalley。I really got into this story and had a hard time putting it down。 If you like dystopian adventures about lone heroes trying to make the world a better place， then you need to read this。 I also really liked reading the author's note about his own chronic fatigue health issues and how that inspired some of the events in the book。 I am hoping there will be a sequel because I want to read more about Seth and Sarah。 I received this e-arc through Netgalley。I really got into this story and had a hard time putting it down。 If you like dystopian adventures about lone heroes trying to make the world a better place， then you need to read this。 I also really liked reading the author's note about his own chronic fatigue health issues and how that inspired some of the events in the book。 I am hoping there will be a sequel because I want to read more about Seth and Sarah。 。。。more

Couldn’t put this book down！ The two POVs each have engaging storylines that really keep you going and when it all comes together， it’s a wild ride！ As far as dystopians go， this is such a well constructed “world” that is terrifying in its own right and completely pulls you in。 Can’t wait to see what happens next！

I am very thankful to have won this book in a Goodreads giveaway。 I simply could not put it down。 This book has adventure and action。 It follows the journey of two incredible characters dealing with their own horrors both within themselves and the circumstances in an apocalyptic world。 I highly recommend reading and look forward to the continuing adventures in future novels。

DNFd at 20%。。 I hate that I didn’t like this since this was my first ARC， but if I forced myself to finish right now， I may not read again for a couple months。 😩Maybe I’ll pick it up again in the future。

I really enjoyed this book。 I liked how there were two different viewpoints the whole story， although my only wish was that the two main characters would've met sooner。 By the time they did meet， I actually had forgotten that I predicted that they would meet。 I 100% hated Josh and his demeaning， self-entitled attitude。 And I hated the Professor's focus on the cure; like for God's sake， how hard is it to care about your own son？I loved the telling of the story and think the plot progressed perfec I really enjoyed this book。 I liked how there were two different viewpoints the whole story， although my only wish was that the two main characters would've met sooner。 By the time they did meet， I actually had forgotten that I predicted that they would meet。 I 100% hated Josh and his demeaning， self-entitled attitude。 And I hated the Professor's focus on the cure; like for God's sake， how hard is it to care about your own son？I loved the telling of the story and think the plot progressed perfectly。 I wish the end of the story wasn't such a cliffhanger， but maybe there will be a sequel？？ That's my hope at least and if there is I look forward to reading it！ 。。。more

This reminded me of "The Knife of Never Letting Go"; a page turner with a good premise that has short chapters that leave you wanting to read just one more。 That takes skill to craft。 Unfortunately， as in Knife， the writing and characterization were not for me， and the ending was annoyingly abrupt。 The premise also can easily be read as being a conservative critique of the COVID-19 vaccines - a worldwide affliction made so much worse by everyone taking the rushed treatment。 This reminded me of "The Knife of Never Letting Go"; a page turner with a good premise that has short chapters that leave you wanting to read just one more。 That takes skill to craft。 Unfortunately， as in Knife， the writing and characterization were not for me， and the ending was annoyingly abrupt。 The premise also can easily be read as being a conservative critique of the COVID-19 vaccines - a worldwide affliction made so much worse by everyone taking the rushed treatment。 。。。more

I very much debated how to rate this book。 If Goodreads had a 1-10 scale I’d have rated it a 7。 I settled on 4 because I’d like to see the next in the series。 I’ve also gone up to a 4 because my life has been insane and frantic so I constantly put down and picked the book up before completing it， which in my opinion does the book a disservice。 But I will say you should probably be a fan of the dystopian genre to enjoy this book。 Finally， I will let folks know I received this book for free via a I very much debated how to rate this book。 If Goodreads had a 1-10 scale I’d have rated it a 7。 I settled on 4 because I’d like to see the next in the series。 I’ve also gone up to a 4 because my life has been insane and frantic so I constantly put down and picked the book up before completing it， which in my opinion does the book a disservice。 But I will say you should probably be a fan of the dystopian genre to enjoy this book。 Finally， I will let folks know I received this book for free via a Goodreads giveaway。 While I definitely appreciate that， it did not influence my opinion of the book。 。。。more

In Primitives， Erich Krauss paints a picture of a world where most of humanity has been regressed to a caveman-like state。 There are survivors， of course and the book focuses on Seth and Sarah， alternating between the two character’s stories。 Now， I generally hate fiction written in the first person。 For some reason， it makes everything less believable for me and prevents me from getting into the story。 Maybe I’m weird， but it’s the way it is。 And to be sure， it took me a bit to get into Primiti In Primitives， Erich Krauss paints a picture of a world where most of humanity has been regressed to a caveman-like state。 There are survivors， of course and the book focuses on Seth and Sarah， alternating between the two character’s stories。 Now， I generally hate fiction written in the first person。 For some reason， it makes everything less believable for me and prevents me from getting into the story。 Maybe I’m weird， but it’s the way it is。 And to be sure， it took me a bit to get into Primitives because of this， but when I finally did， I thoroughly enjoyed it。 Krauss has definitely started a successful series （and there will be a sequel， no doubt） that will span， at least another book， if not several。 There are a lot of questions left to be answered at the end of primitives and it ends on a cliffhanger， so if there’s not a sequel there will be a lot of angry readers out there。 There seems to be some parallels here to the recent fear of the Covid-19 vaccine。 I’m not sure if that’s intended or if it’s just a coincidence that the book came out right around the same time。 Either way， it’s tough not to draw some conclusions about the author’s stance whether it’s correct or not。 In the long run， it’s a minor detail， but for some reason， it kept bugging me。 Overall， however， Primitives is a fun ride and does get hard to put down。 The story is a lot of fun and the main characters are likeable and well fleshed out。 I’ll be looking for the next book in the series over the next year or two， but in the meantime， I suggest you pick this one up if you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction or adventure tales in general。 Thank you to Netgalley and Briar Road Books for the ARC。 I greatly enjoyed it。 。。。more

This book is an interesting sci-fi exploration into a dystopian world where a disease has caused chronic fatigue in humanity， and a cure caused humanity to regress into more animalistic versions of themselves。 I thought it was an interesting lens with which to explore the idea of chronic illness， especially understanding that the author wrote this based on his experience with Lyme disease。 The backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world was also an apt setting。 It follows two characters， Sarah and Seth This book is an interesting sci-fi exploration into a dystopian world where a disease has caused chronic fatigue in humanity， and a cure caused humanity to regress into more animalistic versions of themselves。 I thought it was an interesting lens with which to explore the idea of chronic illness， especially understanding that the author wrote this based on his experience with Lyme disease。 The backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world was also an apt setting。 It follows two characters， Sarah and Seth and switches between the view point of the boy who thinks he is the last young man on Earth， and Sarah who is desperately attempting to escape her home colony。 I felt like there were points where the story was engaging， but there were a lot of dry moments that it took me some work to push through。 Sometimes the choices of the characters didn't really make sense either for their character or for the world they were in， and that some intense plot points were glossed over。 I also felt that the treatment of Sarah's character was repeatedly and unnecessarily brutal。 Furthermore; I don't know if this part of a series and cannot find evidence suggesting it is， the ending was very unsatisfactory and we are left to assume what truly happens。 There is copious violence in the book， which feels as though it lacks purpose， and I felt like there were too many moments left to be inferred from the narrative overall， as a whole。 。。。more

This was an amazing book。 Not my normal genre- but I am SO glad I gave it a shot。 It speaks about humanity and makes you think about where you might fall if faced with certain choices。 Told from multiple points of view， from different locations， this is a great story。 I had trouble putting it down numerous times。 And I look forward to a sequel！
