The author Michael Crichton passed away several years ago--2008 but in a note in the Afterward section it says that he was always working on several projects and this was one. It was already researched out and maybe written that someone was able to complete this. His wife Sherri Crichton lists several people that helped get this book done but Michael is still listed as the author. A story that is based on some real happenings and people--two university professors that were strong rivals in the new field of paleontology both were headed west in the 1870s with teams of people looking for dinosaur bones to bring back to their university for further studies. A story revolved around that with the whole traveling the west, trains and then horseback & wagon. Fighting indians and sometimes soldiers too. The star then gets separated and runs through Deadwood and other parts out in the wild west. To me not a great read but just a nice easy sort of page turner.
This was a book that I got from a friend on our books exchange and will give it back next time we all get together.
