If you like thrillers that involve dinosaurs, adventure, and quirky scientists, this is the book for you. It's like Jurassic Park with some humor thrown in. All of the Grant Coleman Adventure books are fun, but this one tops the rest.
Russell James knows how to balance the suspense, danger, and action with the quirky one-liners Coleman is known for.

What is this book about?

It seems like the perfect trip when paleontologist Grant Coleman joins a geology professor and an anthropologist to explore an unmapped canyon far out in the Utah desert. The sponsor’s team leader promises Grant he can take home all the fossils he finds.

On the first day at camp, an explosion strands the entire team hundreds of feet down on the canyon floor. It is soon clear that the mining company sponsor has more nefarious plans than the benign research they promised. The going is about to get tough for the three professors.

As a fairly big fan of the band Rush I thought this was an interesting, entertaining, and emotive read. From the highs (literally) of the band's early years, through to the very sad loss of drummer Neil Peart, this gives a good insight into how the albums were created and why they made certain choices (like using more synthesizers, gah!).
I looked forward to reading the book on my Kindle every night, often listening to Rush music while I did so.

This book was like nothing I've ever read before. The writing style is not complex but it is captivating. And the story itself is masterful. You fall in love with the characters, and their trek down a road that shouldn't exist is like a rollercoaster ride of thrills and chills.

I'm a sucker for any horror or sci-fi that deals with things that could very well be possible in our current world, and this one is right in my wheelhouse. A military experiment gone wrong, government cover-ups, and scientists who have to save the day despite everything going wrong around them.
McBride is a master at this kind of story, and this book is no exception to that rule.
