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.

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!

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?

A real slog
