She picks up Lincoln and starts running, and the entire book takes place in the next four hours, as Joan, Lincoln, and a few other people try to stay alive and evade the gunmen hunting them in the park. There is an incredible focus in this book that works very well. Just like the characters, the reader feels cut off from the rest of the world. Nothing before the zoo matters, nothing outside the zoo matters. Only the zoo matters, and the survival of these few people. The sense of place, a sprawling zoo, with its primate zone and monkey house and winding paths and train tracks and sand pits, is fantastic; you feel that you are in a park with dark spreading around you, and killers waiting around every corner. Overall,the action is the most effective action writing I've read since Hunger Games; after a slightly slow start, when Joan and Lincoln spend a bit too much time hiding in one spot, it reads like an uninterrupted action sequence.There's also a nice depiction of motherhood, as Joan struggles to keep Lincoln alive and psychologically intact, trying to protect him from the terror around them; and there are some moral questions around what (and who) is a mother willing to sacrifice to save her son. There are some neat twists in the writing and the action sequences that work well.BUT there is one big caveat and a detraction to my enjoyment: be warned that Fierce Kingdom has a frustrating ending - almost a cliffhanger. If the entire novel is about what happens to a mother and son trapped in a zoo with terrorists, shouldn't we know what happens to the mother and son trapped in a zoo with terrorists, when the book is done? To leave it ambiguous felt like a shot at some sort of vague literary ambition, and it made me just irritated. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Hated ending *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017* I was expecting something a little different. Having said that I did enjoy the book. There were times I was holding my breath with Joan and Lincoln. My low score is due to the ending. HATED it. Left the story incomplete in my opinion. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Topical drama that will hit mom's in the gut *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018* I realize that that I’m probably not the target demographic author Gin Phillips was going for with her novel “Fierce Kingdom”. Her story of a trio of deranged young men who terrorize a zoo in a sadly familiar mass shooting incident is suspenseful enough but geared towards a female audience. Phillips pushes all the right buttons to work the maternal emotions of her woman readers. Not having any kids of my own I couldn’t fully relate to the peril of young mother Joan and her loquacious 4 year old son Lincoln as they literally run for their lives. Not having been exposed to many precocious toddlers I found this kid a little too verbose and with a vocabulary that nearly rivals William F. Buckley. When Joan deliberately tosses her cell phone to distract her pursuers giving up her link to the outside world and her anxious hubby left me shaking my head in wonder. Still “Fierce Kingdom” is an interesting enough read that will keep many readers on the edge of their chairs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/44610147-fierce-kingdom-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/44610147-fierce-kingdom-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
