A stunning archaeological thriller from Douglas Preston, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Brimstone and Relic.

A moon rock missing for thirty years...
Five buckets of blood-soaked sand found in a New Mexico canyon...
A scientist with ambition enough to kill...
A monk who will redeem the world...
A dark agency with a deadly mission...
The greatest scientific discovery of all time...
What fire bolt from the galactic dark shattered the Earth eons ago, and now hides in that remote cleft in the southwest U.S. known as Tyrannosaur Canyon?

Tyrannosaur Canyon is a fascinating novel from the acclaimed bestselling author, hailed by Publisher's Weekly as "better than Crichton."

I didn't realize that I'd never listened to this series. I'm a HUGE fan of Mr. Preston. I liked the content, I liked the characters. I did NOT like the narrator. It was actually like he was just reading the book, not NARRATING it.

Oldie but Goodie

I love both Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child books. If you like this, continue on to Wyman Ford series #2, it’s also good.

Interesting premise and heavy suspense

Started off quick and pulls you into what's going on. I feel a bit educated after each of Preston's books!

Great book!

Interesting story line with enough twists & turns to hold your attention all the way through, though you could see a few of them coming from a mile away. The characters are very believable & I will definitely listen to more books by this author. For me, this is a straight ahead action/adventure & I was a little hard pressed to see why Audible includes this title under Science Fiction. Either way, a good read.

Very Good

Standard chase fare wrapped around the kind of science based story that Michael Crichton does a whole lot better.

Crichton Lite

great plot

Excellent read. Made me want to stay in the car to finish the book, not easy to do for someone who is on the road as much as I am.
