Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes is that why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction - is it worse than the disease? This is not the world of the future - it's the world right now. With this extraordinary treasure, however, comes exceptional danger, and WilliamвЂ™s newfound resilience will be tested in his struggle to protect his cache, which pits him against some of the WestвЂ™s most notorious characters. William is forced to join forces with Cope and soon stumbles upon a discovery of historic proportions. But when the paranoid and secretive Marsh becomes convinced that William is spying for his nemesis, Edwin Drinker Cope, he abandons him in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a locus of crime and vice. Determined to survive a summer in the west to win a bet against his arch-rival, William has joined world-renowned paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh on his latest expedition. Into this treacherous territory plunges the arrogant and entitled William Johnson, a Yale student with more privilege than sense. Against this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils, while surveilling, deceiving and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars. In much of the country it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Warring Indian tribes still populate AmericaвЂ™s western territories even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape. Michael Crichton's recently discovered novel-an adventure set in the Wild West during the golden age of fossil hunting. A new expedition - along with Amy - is sent into the Congo where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death. But recently, her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642. In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 signs, the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to fingerpaint. 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. Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists is mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.
