THis is the 5th in the Charlie Moon series, and my least favorite. It has to do with archeology and paleontology, and presents a lot of facts, and is short on the kind of homey humor and delightful insights in Doss' other books.

He's very intelligent and usually doesn't let it show, but sometimes he can't hide what he knows about mammoths, fossils and digs, and I miss the earthy language of regular characters who play a small part in this story.
