Zona II: Sabertooth Uprising is a novel worth a million attentions; the author did a masterpiece of creative writing relating nature to science and civilization. The book portrays a group of professionals in various fields of life on an expedition. Grant and his team members, who are on an expedition in Zona, met another dangerous threat from the lions after they had survived the sabertooth lions in a previous attack on their camp, which saw a lot of the team members dead and others sustaining injuries. The sabertooth lions are seeking to chase the dire wolf fighters out and take over Zona.

The King of the Wolf Kingdom, having established a strong relationship with Grant Tylor and the rest of the team, would seek their support to help protect the wolf clan against the uprising of the lions. The team led by Grant accepted to help the dire wolf fight against the lions. What happens next?

There are positive aspects to the book, and I would love to discuss some of them. The first is that I noticed different themes in this book: themes of love, adventure, bravery, companionship, the quest for survival, and so on, were properly discussed and highlighted in this book. I also liked that the book was unique. The author had an interesting way of providing both suspense and relief at the same time. For instance, the author, Fred G. Baker, introduced Grant Taylor and highlighted his willingness to help the direwolves. I was in suspense when they discovered the new poison used by the sabertooth on the wolves and fought the fierce lions with their weapons.

I had no issue with the book, and I looked forward to the next plot. This is a testament to the author's writing abilities. Also, the characterization seemed a little bit different on the positive side. I was always curious to see what happened next. I enjoyed the storytelling and the pace at which it was told. Even though I had not read the first book in the series, I had no issues understanding this one and that is coomendable on the author's side.

I could only identify a few errors in the book. This shows the extent of care that was invested in editing this book. I will rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because there is no reason not to. I will recommend the book to science fiction lovers. People looking for interesting fictional books would appreciate this book.

I read the first instalment of this series and loved it. I would love to see if the team actually deals with Solomon and Sheba.

I read the the first one and absolutely loved it! I'm not very far into this one, and think it is almost as good.

I read the first book of this series and I liked it despite some bits of the plot that seemed forced to me. This sequels seems to take the good parts of the story and continue it, so I added to my Want to Read list. Thank you for your great review!

I read another book from this author and really liked his writing style. It is the kind of fictional storytelling I can appreciate, not in the least because of the themes of adventure, friendship, bravery etc.

After reading the first book, I was enthralled with the vivid storytelling. A similar enticing story emerges from the sample reading of this one. I've added this book to my TBR list. Congratulations on the author's BOTD victory!

I'm sure this book will be worth reading. Having read the first part, Zona: The Forbidden Land, it would be nice to read this second part and know more about the adventures. Congrats on the author for winning BOTD.

Zona II is a cleverly written, painstakingly detailed, and captivating work of fantasy that keeps readers guessing right up to the very end. It deftly picks up where the first novel left off, giving readers who may not have read the series' first book some background information while continuing the story. It might even work nicely as a stand-alone story in that sense. Congrats on BOTD.
