"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!"

Extinction, is
Jurassic Park for the Pleistocene Era--and that's no exaggeration. It's got everything I love: fantastic creatures, wild adventures, and dynamic heroes.

Extinction--which is both entertaining and frightening--every page like a tasty treat. You have to read this!
