An epic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston perfect for fans of Michael Crichton. Extinction explores the very real effort to resurrect the woolly mammoth and other extinct megafauna from the Pleistocene Age. Erebus Resort occupying a magnificent hundred-thousand acre valley deep in the Colorado Rockies offers guests the experience of viewing woolly mammoths Irish Elk and giant ground sloths in their native habitat brought back from extinction through the magic of genetic manipulation. When a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered in the Erebus back country by what is assumed to be a gang of eco-terrorists Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash partners with county sheriff James Colcord to track down the perpetrators. As killings mount and the valley is evacuated Cash and Colcord must confront an ancient intelligent and malevolent presence at Erebus bent not on resurrection... but extinction. Reviews for Extinction'A creepy and creative variation on Jurassic Park... as smart and spine-chilling as the best of Michael Crichton.' Publishers WeeklyA thriller as breathlessly riveting as you would expect from a genre master like Douglas Preston but much more too: it's meaty and thought-provoking and tells us a lot about our distant past - and our immediate future. Spectacular!' Lee Child'One of the most heart-stopping terrifying climaxes of any novel I've read in recent years. Preston ingeniously combines real-life science and technology into his novels and Extinction brings it all together in a thriller that's truly thrilling!' Tess Gerritsen'Preston is a master storyteller. I'm still thinking about Extinction which is both entertaining and frightening every page like a tasty treat. You have to read this!' Steve Berry
