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…

Michael Crichton has always been my favourite author ever since I read Jurassic park, as I’m sure is the same for many people. Whilst I’ve enjoyed all his books I’ve listened to this one is definitely my favourite since reading Jurassic park. A fantastic blend of fiction and non fiction, if your interested if you have previously read the about the bone wars the you’ll see this book follows a fictional character with a fictional story through very real events which brings them to life! As always with Crichton it’s meticulously reached and you come away feeling you’ve learned a lot. I Can’t recommend this book enough, the story is gripping and compels you to read on throughout its entire duration, which is helped along by a fantastic narrator, my only complaint is that there isn’t more of it!

Buy this audiobook, you won’t regret it!

Michael Crichton at his best

An enjoyable action adventure, but as released after Crichton died (he wrote it in the 70s) so was unfinished. Therefore a bit patchy and unfocused, but fast paced with some exciting action sequences and suspence of Indian attacks. Well narrated.

A fun fast paced, but unfinished adventure

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

I'm a big Michael crichton fan, otherwise I wouldn't have bought this or listen to it. But it's a brilliant story that once it gets going is gripping. It feels like you've been on a journey around the west once you've listened to it and I was sad when it wrapped up.
I wasn't sure on the narration to start but once it got going the narrator accent just added to the feel and he brought the characters to life.
I'd thoroughly recommend.

Brings the Wild West to vivid live

This was a compelling listen and altbough not totally factual, the use of the Marsh and Copes diaries and history of the time were well researched. A rattling good story anyway, with lots of atmosphere and excitement! The narrator, Scott Brick, was excellent and a perfect choice for the book.

Really enjoyed this

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...

Listened twice back to back. If, like me, you like to listen to audiobooks before bed to get you to sleep, this is for you. The narrators voice is very easy to listen to and soothing and the story is engaging enough that I wanted to listen again straight away to catch what happened in the moments I fell asleep. It would be an overall 5 from me if I wasn’t slightly put off by the way the native Americans were described. Having listened to the end I am comfortable with the balance in portrayal.

Thoroughly enjoyed
