Great book!

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

Crichton Lite

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

Very Good

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.

Tyrannosaur Canyon

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.

Great fun

This was a surprise. A nice twist on the treasure hunt / pirate genre. Definitely one of Douglas Preston's best efforts.

First in series

I found this book after looking back through my library I previously had listened to the remainder of the Wyman Ford series but not this one, the first in the series. My main criticism is that I was unable to find an unabridged version. Now I plan to again listen to the remainder of the series; it’s been years since I’ve done so.
