Fossil Hunter (Tyndale House, Spring 2008):
Here’s what people are saying about Fossil Hunter:
John Olson's Fossil Hunter is a delightful romantic thriller about a female Indiana Jones off on a scientific treasure hunt who finds it easier to cope with desert brigands than with the genteel back-stabbing of academic politics. Enjoy the great adventure! I did.
