Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton Book Summary

Michael Crichton, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Jurassic Park, returns to the world of paleontology in this recently discovered novel—a thrilling adventure set in the Wild West during the golden age of fossil hunting.

The year is 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. Determined to survive a summer in the west to win a bet against his arch-rival, William 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. William is forced to join forces with Cope and soon stumbles upon a discovery of historic proportions.  With this extraordinary treasure, however, comes exceptional danger, and William’s newfound resilience will be tested in his struggle to protect his cache, which pits him against some of the West’s most notorious characters.

A page-turner that draws on both meticulously researched history and an exuberant imagination, Dragon Teeth is based on the rivalry between real-life paleontologists Cope and Marsh; in William Johnson readers will find an inspiring hero only Michael Crichton could have imagined. Perfectly paced and brilliantly plotted, this enormously winning adventure is destined to become another Crichton classic.

Dragon Teeth. Great story. I’m only sorry it isn’t true!

Samsons Barber. The old adage goes: never judge a book by it's cover". Well, in this instance that idiom proved wholly true as I was sorely disappointed. I have always enjoyed this man's books but not this time. I came to realize why this story had not been published until now as I fought to concentrate on what I was reading. To me, reading this book, was like standing in line for a spanking. Spend your money on a movie and pass on this e-book.

Not happy. It was a let down.

A Western + Dino Bones!. I loved this story. I admit, this was my first Crichton novel, but it was a pleasure. Lots of juicy historical references, many of which I’ve stumbled across elsewhere since reading it. Seeing Cope, Marsh, or Sternberg listed under different species of dinosaurs has different meaning after reading this. Besides any praise I can give, this was a Dino (bone) western— How could it have gone poorly? It was great!

Crichton. The undisputed king

Dragon Teeth Discovered. What a joy to see another Michael Crichton book show up out of nowhere. Miss his writing so much and this book did not disappoint. I just wish it was longer. Saddened me when I finished.

Great book. I got lost in the pages several times. Great read! The only thing is I wish it would have ended a different way. Just kinda seamed like it was way to short for such a great read. 💯 recommend the book! Loved it

G will betathe bbb. Hey uuhI be ugh but Phy bbbto on and g lying th

Dragon Teeth. Rey interesting history of the early professors and bone hunters the tools that they had to work with compared to what we have now makes it all so interesting.

Dragon Teeth. What an exciting and fun adventure. William Johnson may be a fictional character, but he sure sounded like areal historical man. The finding of dinosaur fossils way before breaking loose from religious beliefs is quite dramatic and extremely note worthy! Loved this story. John Vasquez

What a read!!. What can anyone say that could add to Crichton’s legend? Accordingly, I’m embarrassed to report that I found a tiny, yet significant inconsistency. Early in his journey West, Johnson witnesses a gunfight and a death, in Cheyanne. Yet, nearing the end of his odyssey, after surviving an attack by Sioux warriors in which fellow student Toad is killed, the narrator recounts that it’s the first time in his life that Johnson has ever seen a dead man. Jim Robertson

Sooooo Much Fun!. I have always been an avid fan of Crichton’s work, to the point I was completely floored to come across a title of his I’d never heard of. Not to mention, about dinosaurs no less. I loved every word of every page, caught glares from onlookers as I laughed hysterically, was genuinely on the edge of my seat, and was rendered completely useless at work after putting it down briefly for professional duties. I could not hold a conversation with anyone without bringing up this book. A swift read and worth every minute and every penny.

AMAZING. Great book. Fast read. Page turner. You won't be disappointed!

Boring; The true story is much better. If you are looking into some insight into the “Bone Wars” between OC Marsh and Edwin Cope there are far better and more exciting non-fiction works out there ("The Gilded Dinosaur” for one). If you are looking for adventure and dinosaurs like Jurassic Park, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a quick read you will find it here as it seems to have been written by a junior high student. Cope and Marsh were mush more complex than the cookie-cutter characters represented here. And you won’t care about any of the other characters. As others have pointed out, there is a reason this wasn’t released earlier.

Dragon Teeth. Excellent accurate historical fiction. Loved every minute of it.

Awesome. Great book!!!! a look at the old west.

Classic Crichton. What a surprise to find a new Crichton release! After reading P. Douglas’ Dinosaurs in the Attic and visiting the AMNH, I stumble upon this. Now I’m researching fossil hunting excursions!
