Synopsis "Dientes de dragón (in Spanish)"

El legendario autor Michael Crichton vuelve al universo de la paleontología con una aventura apasionante. Año 1876. Tribus de indios en pie de guerra arrasan los territorios del oeste de Estados Unidos. A este paisaje primitivo y hostil llegan las expediciones dirigidas por dos paleontólogos rivales en busca de fósiles de dinosaurios. William Johnson, un universitario rico y consentido, se incorpora al grupo de Othniel Charles Marsh, pero cuando este sospecha de sus intenciones y lo abandona, William se une a su archienemigo, Edward Drinker Cope. Ignora que está a punto de hacer un descubrimiento histórico, un tesoro que deberá defender de los personajes más peligrosos del Salvaje Oeste.A partir de un suceso real, Crichton alumbra un período histórico tan olvidado como fascinante en un nuevo thriller paleontológico destinado a convertirse en un clásico a la altura de sus éxitos más memorables. La critica ha dicho: «Una historia bien contada, divertida, intrigante, entretenida, llena de giros, pistas falsas, peligros acechantes y tensiónmáxima en cada capítulo.» USA Today «De todas las novelas de Crichton, esta es una de las mejores.» Booklist

Michael Crichton (Chicago, Illinois, October 23, 1942 - Los Angeles, California, November 4, 2008) was an American writer, screenwriter, director, and film producer. Famous for his work in the genres of science fiction, suspense, and medical fiction. More than two hundred million literary copies of his works have been sold, most of them bestsellers, which have been translated into more than thirty-eight languages, and of which twelve have been made into films.

His novels often feature elements of the action genre and focus on a strong technological component. In fact, Crichton is considered the pioneer of the techno-thriller narrative genre. His novels often explore future scientific and technological advances that end in biotechnology disasters. Crichton is known for being the father of Jurassic Park and also of the prestigious TV series ER. He is the only person who has simultaneously had, in the United States, the best-selling book —Disclosure—, the number one movie at the box office —Jurassic Park—, and the television series with the highest viewership —ER—.
