Dragon Teeth

In Dragon Teeth, Michael Crichton invites listeners into the tumultuous world of 1876 America, where the Wild West is alive with paleontological treasure and fierce rivalries. Amidst lawless gold-rush towns and the ongoing conflict between Indian tribes, a privileged Yale student named William Johnson embarks on a dinosaur fossil-hunting expedition alongside the renowned yet paranoid paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh. When abandoned in Cheyenne, William must ally with his rival, Edwin Drinker Cope, leading to a historic discovery fraught with peril. This thrilling tale, inspired by the real-life Bone Wars, blends rich historical detail with Crichton’s captivating storytelling.
