      An epic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston, perfect for fans of Michael Crichton. The narrative delves into the real effort to resurrect woolly mammoths and other extinct megafauna from the Pleistocene Age. Erebus Resort, set in a breathtaking hundred-thousand-acre valley in the Colorado Rockies, allows guests to witness these creatures in their native habitat, brought back through genetic manipulation. However, when a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered by suspected eco-terrorists in the Erebus backcountry, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash teams up with county sheriff James Colcord to find the culprits. As the body count rises and the valley is evacuated, Cash and Colcord face an ancient, intelligent, and malevolent force at Erebus, intent on not just resurrection but extinction. Reviews highlight the book as a "creepy and creative variation on Jurassic Park" (Publishers Weekly) and a "breathlessly riveting" thriller that is both thought-provoking and entertaining (Lee Child). With a heart-stopping climax, it ingeniously blends real-life science with thrilling storytelling (Tess Gerritsen). Preston's masterful narrative keeps readers engaged and pondering long after the last page (Steve Berry).
