A Siren Called Truth

Patricia Roberts Wright

"A tense, taut exploration of human desire and the fierce competition for discovery� Is ambition a destructive force, or is it the catalyst for shaping history�s most significant breakthroughs?"�The Prairies Book Review.

"Lush and immersive�. And wow, does the rivalry between Cope and Marsh sizzle. The tension is delicious."�Literary Titan

It's post-Civil War America, the period of western expansion�and the golden age of paleontology. Edward Cope is determined to unearth the remains of America's extinct creatures. But in O.C. Marsh, Cope confronts a powerful, well-funded rival. Heated conflict erupts, making headlines in the press. The �bone wars� intensify over the years�a clash unequaled in the history of paleontology.

"Readers familiar with works like �The Devil in the White City� by Erik Larson or �The Invention of Nature� by Andrea Wulf will appreciate Wright�s ability to blend history with character-driven storytelling." � BookView"
