About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Extinction by Douglas Preston, read by David Aaron Baker.
An epic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston, perfect for fans of Michael Crichton. Extinction 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.
Critic Reviews
'A creepy and creative variation on Jurassic Park... as smart and spine-chilling as the best of Michael Crichton.' Publishers Weekly
A thriller as breathlessly riveting as you would expect from a genre master like Douglas Preston, but much more too: it's meaty and thought-provoking, and tells us a lot about our distant past – and our immediate future. Spectacular!' Lee Child
'One of the most heart-stopping, terrifying climaxes of any novel I've read in recent years. Preston ingeniously combines real-life science and technology into his novels, and Extinction brings it all together in a thriller that's truly thrilling!' Tess Gerritsen
'Preston is a master storyteller. I’m still thinking about Extinction which is both entertaining and frightening, every page like a tasty treat. You have to read this!' Steve Berry

interesting
Great story, was quite interesting. the ending was a little bit deflating. I think it had a bit more potential. Very much jurassic park vibes, I loved it!

A real slog
This story is a weird mashup of women against the patriarchy with a touch of globalist anti capitalism. Oh yeah.. and there’s some woolly mammoths.
I kept listening because it was a finalist in the goodreads sci-fi book of the year. it has to get better right?
As the chapters go on and on, I was getting more frustrated waiting it to improve. Can I get a refund on this snorefest?
