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.

Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes. 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.

But it is not until they reach the depths of the Northland that the courtier learns the horrifying and inescapable truth.

Wyoming, 1875: So wie die Erde unter den donnernden Büffelherden des noch wilden Westens bebt, wird die Welt von der Entdeckung einer noch größeren, viel älteren Naturgewalt erschüttert. Fossile Funde belegen: Einst müssen riesige Urzeitwesen die Erde bevölkert haben - die Dinosaurier. Damit rückt ein wenig beachteter, aber revolutionärer Wissenschaftszweig, die Paläontologie, ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit. Der Roman "Dragon Teeth" aus dem Nachlass von Michael Crichton, entstanden 1974, darf als erster Wissenschaftsthriller dieses Ausnahmeautors und Schöpfers von "Jurassic Park" gelten.
Publisher's Summary
Michael Crichton, the number one New York Times best-selling author of Jurassic Park, returns to the world of palaeontology 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. Against this backdrop two palaeontologists pillage the Wild West for dinosaur fossils while deceiving and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.
Into this treacherous territory plunges William Johnson, a Yale student with more privilege than sense. Determined to win a bet against his archrival, William has joined world-renowned palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh on his latest expedition. But Marsh becomes convinced that William is spying for his nemesis, Edwin Drinker Cope, and abandons him in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a locus of crime and vice.
Soon William joins forces with Cope and stumbles upon a discovery of historic proportions. The struggle to protect this extraordinary treasure, however, will test William's newfound resilience and pit him against some of the West's most dangerous and notorious characters....
Critic Reviews
"One of the most ingenious, inventive thriller writers around.... Prey sees him doing what he does best - taking the very latest scientific advances and showing us their potentially terrifying underbelly. Another high-concept treat...written in consummate page-turning style." ( Observer)
"This is Crichton on top form, preying on our fears about new technology and convincing us that we aren't half as afraid as we should be." ( The Times)
"Mixing cutting-edge science with thrills and spills, this is classic Crichton." ( Daily Mirror)

Not my cup of tea
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.

Unconvincing
I found this rather a "thin" book. Weak, rather predictable plot, and weak one dimensional characters - as dead as the dinosaurs they were digging up. I search hard to find something positive to say and fail. Not "awful" but nothing to recommend it.

A fantastic tale, crafted expertly around actual events. Such is the quality of the writing, as with most of Crichton’s novels, it’s hard to tell what is real and what isn’t, what actually happened and what didn’t!

Here be dragons...
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!
