About this listen
"A tense, taut exploration of human desire and the fierce competition for discovery… Is ambition a destructive force, or is it the catalyst for shaping history’s most significant breakthroughs?"—The Prairies Book Review.
"Highly recommended…. Wright’s writing is lush and immersive…. And wow, does the rivalry between Cope and Marsh sizzle. The tension is delicious. You can feel the air crackle.".—Literary Titan
It's post-Civil War America, the period of western expansion--and the golden age of paleontology. Edward Cope, the genius, self-didactic naturalist and scion of a prominent Philadelphia family, is determined to unearth the remains of America's extinct creatures. But in O.C. Marsh, Cope confronts a powerful rival; Marsh's expeditions are well funded through his uncle George Peabody's endowments to Yale. Hell-bent on becoming the country's foremost paleontologist, Marsh will not tolerate Cope's competition. Heated conflict erupts between the two scientists. Cope's cleverness and Marsh's questionable schemes make headlines in the press. Their battles intensify over the years and are unequaled in the history of science.
The Bone Wars story, as never told before, begins here.
"Readers familiar with works like ‘The Devil in the White City’ by Erik Larson or ‘The Invention of Nature’ by Andrea Wulf will appreciate Wright’s ability to blend history with character-driven storytelling." — BookView
