Books by Jean-Baptiste Andrea - trans. Sam Taylor

A Hundred Million Years and a Day
Stan, a French Palaeontologist, has always been obsessed with fossils and when he hears of the skeleton of a dragon lying in a cave deep in an alpine glacier, he has to go and investigate. Is this the dinosaur he has been looking for? His harsh and sad early life has fed this obsession and is reflected in the hazardous journey that he and his chosen companions decide to make. More than an alpine adventure, this is a very moving read, and wonderfully translated from the French.
