Extinction - Douglas Preston

\n \nWith 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. \n \nErebus Resort, occupying a magnificent, hundred-thousand acre valley deep in the Colorado Rockies, \noffers guests the experience of viewing woolly mammoths, Irish Elk, and giant ground sloths in their \nnative habitat, brought back from extinction through the magic of genetic manipulation. When a \nbillionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered in the Erebus back country by what is \nassumed to be a gang of eco-terrorists, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash partners \nwith county sheriff James Colcord to track down the perpetrators. \n \nAs killings mount and the valley is evacuated, Cash and Colcord must confront an ancient, intelligent, \nand malevolent presence at Erebus, bent not on resurrection--but extinction.\n
