About this listen

From Michael Crichton, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Jurassic Park, comes a thrilling adventure set in the Wild West that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last!

If you thought Jurassic Park was an adventure, you should try the Wild West!

1876. In the lawless territories of the Wild West, two teams of explorers are pitted against one another. Their quarry? Dinosaur bones. But in a land filled with hostile Indian tribes and towns where pistol fights are a daily occurrence, every exploit puts their lives in danger…

William Johnson, a student with more privilege than sense, finds himself plunged into this deadly environment after making a brash wager. Alongside Edwin Drinker Cope, the famed adventurer, he stumbles upon a momentous discovery – dragon teeth of a fantastic size!

But to keep this extraordinary treasure safe, William must first confront some of the West’s most dangerous and notorious characters…

WOW! I have both physically read this book and now listened to Dragon Teeth...twice!

This fictitious story wrapped in historic truths, transports you to the age of the Wild West and delivers an incredible insight into the Bone Wars as well as encounters with the infamous town of Deadwood and an introduction of one of the most famous western legends of all time...Wyatt Earp.

I can only imagine what this would be like on the big screen.

I cannot recommend this book enough, Michael Crichton you have done it again.

Imagination Masterclass

its a real cliff hanger by the time he is out in the wild west

Great

Interesting story but it was not what i expected. Nothing out of the ordinary happens. Just a story about returning fossils in the old west. Interesting if you like that topic, lots of details about those times and the day to day life but do not expect any fantasy or scifi or ghosts.

Not my cup of tea

Would you listen to Dragon Teeth again? Why?

I liked it, so yes.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragon Teeth?

Cameos from Wyatt Earp and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick and Sherri Crichton - Afterword ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Scott Brick is always good, and very suited to this story.

Any additional comments?

Its good that even after death Michael Crichton is still putting out novels, and good ones at that!

Here be dragons...

I loved the novel believing it to be entirely fiction until the very end.
To find out about the bone wars through this book was incredibly enlightened as well as entertaining.

Fantastic
