Extinction by Douglas Preston

Erebus Resort in the Colorado Rockies has discovered a way to de-extinct several Pleistocene era mammals including the wooly mammoth through genetic manipulation. When a newlywed couple visiting the park goes missing and are discovered to be brutally unalived, CBI agent Frances Cash and county sheriff James Colcord team up. At first suspecting eco-terrorists they soon discover that the threat is bigger than they could have ever imagined.  

If you enjoyed Jurassic Park, this book is similar, but also quite unique. The science fiction aspect of the genetics testing was well explained so the average reader (aka, me lol!) could understand without getting too lost in the details. I liked how the partnership between Cash and Colcord developed throughout the story from antagonism to friendship (and is there a hint in there of a sequel?) I really like Douglas Preston's writing and I was super excited to get an early copy of this book!

Thanks to Tor Publishing through Netgalley for the advance copy of this book. The opinions in this review are my own and given voluntarily.
