Many Worlds, One Li-Bro-rian

Taking a short break from the Bluebonnets, I decided to read a more adult level book from one of my favorite authors, Michael Crichton. Crichton, M. (2017) Dragon Teeth . New York, NY: Harper Collins If William Johnson seems to be nothing more than a rich, spoiled, Yale college student, that's because he is.  However, a bet with a fellow will have him traveling to still wild west of the late 1800s, and it will change him forever.  He signs up on an expedition to find dinosaur bones, but what he finds is  a whole lot of trouble. Michael Crichton has an amazing way of blending fact with fiction, reality with fantasy, that really gets your mind wondering "could this be real?".  Dragon Teeth is no exception.  Crichton does so much research into his novels, they always have a factual feel to them.  That feel makes the adventure within that much more thrilling.  If you like the wild west, paleontology, or just a good adventure, this could be the book...
