For 65 million years, the Badlands of Montana have held a secret hidden in their depths--a creature worshipped by some, held in awe by many, and despised by a secret few. Revealing its existence would irrevocably change the way humans view their connection with history and religion, blurring the lines between fact and mythology.
The Pirates of Montana follows Molly Tanner, a 15-year-old aspiring paleontologist who travels to Montana to learn the intricacies of finding, unearthing, and preparing dinosaur specimens. But when she discovers what appears to be a winged, flesh-eating monster, she and her team must ask an extraordinary question: could dragons have been real? And if so, what else?
As the team brings advanced science to the task of determining whether dragons could be more than just the bygone myths of ancient civilizations, insidious forces soon emerge to oppose them. The team realizes that they may have uncovered not just a fantastical creature, but an ancient conspiracy to hide the true fossil record and the truth behind humankind's connection to its own mythology.
