De: Patricia Roberts Wright

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"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.

“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-educated scientist, is determined to unearth the remains of America's extinct creatures. But in O.C. Marsh, Cope confronts a powerful, well-funded rival.

Heated conflict erupts. Cope's cleverness and Marsh's questionable schemes make headlines in the press. The “bone wars” intensify over the years—a clash unequaled in the history of paleontology.

"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
