Description

Ancient discoveries. An epic rivalry. An adventure that made history.1876. Warring Indian tribes still populate America's western territories even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape. In much of the country it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Against this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils, while surveilling, deceiving and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.Into this treacherous territory plunges the arrogant and entitled William Johnson, a Yale student with more privilege than sense, who has joined world-renowned paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh on his latest expedition. But when the paranoid and secretive Marsh becomes convinced that William is spying for his nemesis, Edwin Drinker Cope, he abandons him in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a locus of crime and vice. Forced to join forces with Cope, William stumbles upon a discovery of historic proportions. With this extraordinary treasure, however, comes exceptional danger. William's newfound resilience will be tested in his struggle to protect his cache, pitting him against some of the West's most notorious characters.Perfectly paced and brilliantly plotted, drawing on meticulously researched history and an exuberant imagination, this enormously winning adventure is destined to become another Crichton classic.
