A Hundred Million Years and a Day

By: Jean-Baptiste Andrea

Narrated by: Hugh Weller-Poley

Stan has been hunting for fossils since the age of six. Now, in the summer of 1954, he hears a story he cannot forget: the skeleton of a huge creature—a veritable dragon—lies deep in an Alpine glacier. And he is determined to find it. But Stan is no mountaineer. To complete his dangerous expedition, he must call on loyal friend Umberto, who arrives with an eccentric young assistant and expert guide Gio.

Time is short; the four men must descend before the weather turns. As bonds are forged and tested, the hazardous quest for the Earth’s lost creatures becomes a journey into Stan’s own past.

A Hundred Million Years and a Day is a mesmerizing story of nature, adventure, and of one man's determination to follow his dream, whatever it may take.

This is such a great story!

This is such a touching story of a man with dreams, friendships built, and life challenges faced. Hugh Weller-Poley did a wonderful job narrating and the story is filled with such descriptive imagery, I felt as if I was along for the ride with them.

It is a short book, but so worth the listen! You will not regret reading or listening to it.
