Description

With Extinction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston has written a page-turning thriller in the Michael Crichton mode that explores the possible and unintended dangers of the very real efforts to resurrect the woolly mammoth and other long-extinct animals.

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.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

  • Excellent

    By 435Loyston
    The author is right, the science is here, for 40 years we’ve watched technology change from movies to reality. This book is just another example of what’s to come. Excellent read.
  • Awesomely Delicious Reading 👍👍

    Douglas Preston as a solo writer is great.
  • Tedious

    By majishun
    Good idea for a plot but not enough character development.
  • Refund please

    By FOX1921
    The writing seems childish and lazy. One line actually reads “The mammoth took a dump”.
  • Extinction

    By twpk$$
    One detail not sure about, in the end what happened to the de-extincted animals.
  • Great

    By bookloverjenna
    The actual science used throughout the novel was compelling. Leaves you thinking, and somewhat chilled about what lies in store…
  • A walk on the wild side

    By G'Dad12
    Very engrossing with page turner ending, and makes one think about what could really happen.
  • Couldn’t put down

    By NicoleT_NY
    An engrossing murder mystery that takes place in the a fictional, Jurassic Park- like world.. couldn’t put down and finished in just a few days.
