Fossil Hunter

by John B. Olson,

Tyndale House Publishers | April 16, 2008 | Trade Paperback

Fossil Hunter is an Indiana Jones-style thriller that explores the Intelligent Design controversy from the points of view of two field scientists working in the strife-torn countries of Iraq and Pakistan. When paleontologist Dr. Katie James leads an expedition to search for an ancient whale fossil rumored to be in the Iraqi desert, she has no idea her archrival, Nick Murad, will be searching for the same fossil. But then Katie makes a groundbreaking discovery and is forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before its destroyed by a fundamentalist government faction. Nick and Katies initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust.

    Most fun Novel I've read in a long time

    The pace, characters, story and writing make Fossil Hunter one of those rare novels that catch my imagination and renew my sense of wonder and adventure. For that, out of five stars, I have to give Fossil Hunter a five-point-five.

From the Publisher

Fossil Hunter is an Indiana Jones-style thriller that explores the Intelligent Design controversy from the points of view of two field scientists working in the strife-torn countries of Iraq and Pakistan. When paleontologist Dr. Katie James leads an expedition to search for an ancient whale fossil rumored to be in the Iraqi desert, she has no idea her archrival, Nick Murad, will be searching for the same fossil. But then Katie makes a groundbreaking discovery and is forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before its destroyed by a fundamentalist government faction. Nick and Katies initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust.

From the Jacket

In the desolate Iraqi desert, a lone shepherd stumbles across a whale fossil. Initial analysis indicates that it could be a new species-a discovery that could shed light on the evolution debate.

Paleontologist Dr. Katie James is asked to lead an expedition to recover the rest of the fossil before her archrival, Nick Murad, can find it first.

But while she''s there, Katie also uncovers the unexpected-a human fossil so controversial she''s forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before it can be destroyed by a fundamentalist faction of the Iraqi government. Their initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust most.

Then the fossil disappears, sending Nick and Katie on a chase that could cost them their reputations, their careers-even their lives.

"Fossil Hunter" is part of the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed campaign. Look for the feature-length documentary-hosted by Ben Stein and produced by Premise Media Corporation-available now on DVD. Visit www.expelledthemovie.com for more information.
