About the book
With Extinction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston has crafted a gripping thriller in the style of Michael Crichton that delves into the potential dangers of resurrecting long-extinct animals such as the woolly mammoth.
Erebus Resort, nestled in a stunning valley spanning one hundred thousand acres in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, offers guests the chance to witness woolly mammoths, Irish Elk, and giant ground sloths in their natural environment, brought back to life through genetic manipulation. After a billionaire's son and his new wife are abducted and killed in the backwoods of Erebus by a group presumed to be eco-terrorists, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash teams up with county sheriff James Colcord to hunt down the perpetrators.
With a rising body count and the valley being evacuated, Cash and Colcord find themselves facing an ancient, cunning, and malignant force at Erebus, whose goal is not revival, but annihilation.
