À propos de cet audio
Michael Crichton, the New York Times best-selling 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 archrival, 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.
Drawing 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 listeners 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.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 66
For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it. Word in port is that the galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in a nearby harbor. Heavily fortified, the impregnable harbor is guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite commander of the Spanish king himself. With backing from a powerful ally, Hunter assembles a crew of ruffians to infiltrate the enemy outpost and commandeer El Trinidad, along with its fortune in Spanish gold.

Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

The year is A.D. 922. A refined Arab courtier, representative of the powerful Caliph of Baghdad, encounters a party of Viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their Viking customs - the wanton sexuality of their pale, angular women, their disregard for cleanliness...their cold-blooded human sacrifices. But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

Savor this novel
I live a short distance from Canada's badlands. with the badlands being so close, and westerns being an inescapable theme I can't explain how many wonderful notes this book has hit for me. Jurassic Park, is the one piece of storytelling in my life my love for has never wavered from. This book is better than everyone of my favorite moments of JP, even combined.
I love it's focus on the science of paleontology, the social dynamics of the historical events at the time, these touches of historical figures added in nod to the time and never forced. I love Crichton novels, they are always a treat. However, if I am ever asked about his works, or really for any recommendations in the future this will forever at the very least be in my top 3, but I'm very certain this will remain number.one for years to come.
Do yourself a favor and savor this novel

One of Crichton's Weaker Efforts
This is an enjoyable book but.. to be honest.. kinda boring. The imagined events surrounding this legendary real-life rivalry between pioneering Paleontologists are well-conceived, punctilliously researched, and admirably written (Michael Crichton muses about a fictional scholarly undertaking that evolves into a captivating adventure set in the post-Civil War American Wild West during the Indian Wars).. but this offering almost reads like a 'Travel Book' - designed to introduce readers to exotic locales that few ever saw (e.g Deadwood, South Dakota) and dropping famous names (e.g. Wyatt Earp) - but little else. Crichton proposes what it might have been like to go on a bonehunting expedition in the cutthroat early days that preceeded the development of a new branch of science.. but nothing (other than some famous settings and characters) is terribly unexpected.
Bottom Line: 'Dragon Teeth' is recognizable as a Crichton novel but lacks the fireworks and speculative imaginings that fans are used to.
Scott Brick's performance on this project is exactly what listeners familiar with him have come to expect - impressive but unspectacular. Luckily, the drawbacks in his delivery (drawling diction, somewhat bored nasal tone, and an occasionally odd cadence) are softened somewhat by setting playback speed on the Audible player at 1.15X (I actually recommend the technique every time you encounter him). Still, Brick was a great casting choice from HarperAudio.
I personally think Crichton is at his best when taking solidly plausible science and developing a fantastical plot around it. This book doesn't do that - rather providing strikingly true-to-life conjecture in the milleu of a painstakingly accurate setting (with a little bit of Science thrown in). The book is certainly entertaining, but I can't give it more than 6.5 out of 10 stars. If you're an existing Crichton afficianado, this is definitely worth a download, but his other works are far better options for your Credit. Those new to him should *definitely* start with something else.
