Extinction
With Extinction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston has written an epic thriller in the Michael Crichton mode that 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.

Very engrossing with page turner ending, and makes one think about what could really happen.

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.

Loved this book. Many factual points. We are not alone in our small world and the powers that be need to get a grip and come to understand exactly what they are doing. It’s not child’s play ! Thank you for the insight. Jean Maza Louisiana
