Ever wondered what it'd be like if woolly mammoths stomped around again? Douglas Preston's Extinction, the first in the Cash & Colcord series, drops you right into Erebus Resort—a sprawling 100,000-acre paradise in the Colorado Rockies where extinct beasts like mammoths, Irish elk, and massive ground sloths roam free, thanks to genetic wizardry. It's the ultimate thrill for nature lovers and sci-fi fans, but things turn deadly fast.
A billionaire's son and his bride vanish on their honeymoon, kidnapped and killed in the backcountry. Everyone points to eco-terrorists furious about playing God with nature. Enter Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Frances Cash and local sheriff James Colcord—they're tough, no-nonsense pros racing against time as more bodies pile up and the entire valley empties out in panic.
What they find isn't human malice; it's something older, smarter, and way more vicious. Preston weaves hard science on resurrecting the dead with pulse-racing action, making you question if bringing back the past is worth the cost. Feel the chill of vast snowy landscapes, hear the earth-shaking footsteps of megafauna, smell the primal fear as hunters become the hunted.
It's not just a read; it's an adrenaline rush perfect for cozy nights or beach escapes. Imagine curling up with your Kindle, lost in a world where Jurassic Park meets modern forensics. Readers rave about the vivid settings and credible science—Preston, a #1 NYT bestseller, nails the tension without skimping on character depth. Whether you're into thrillers, prehistoric adventures, or ethical dilemmas of biotech, Extinction delivers. Grab it DRM-free and lose yourself in the roar of the wild reborn.
