Fossil River by Jock Miller is an interesting thriller about the United States becoming extremely desperate for oil and the largest oil supply in the world being discovered along with living fossils that threaten any that venture into the remote area of a national park in Alaska. The main characters include a former Marine helicopter pilot that manages the park and lost his arm in combat; his Native American co-worker; and a female curator from New York Museum of Natural History that has a past with the former Marine.
Overall Fossil River is an exciting read with some interesting twists as the main characters try to learn more about the living fossils and protect them along with the park from being totally destroyed for oil while also struggling to remain alive themselves. There is also a little bit of romance that adds background and depth to the characters even if it is rather predictable.
