Extinction by Douglas Preston is one of last summers big thrillers. It’s a great mix of murder mystery/thriller/science fiction set at a resort featuring “de-extincted” woolly mammoth and other prehistoric mega fauna. It shares the fascinating ethical conundrums found in Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park and feels ready-made for its own movie adaptation.
This title was on Texas’ 2024 Lariat Adult Reading List which aims to highlight books that are “simply a pleasure to read.” The list has been a joy so far and features many of last year’s well-known titles.
