Histoire
Constance Greene confronts Manhattan’s most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life—but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage. Unknown to Leng, Pendergast’s brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help—for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng’s every move…and awaiting his own chance to strike.

Histoire
“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Description
With Extinction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston has written a binge-worthy thriller in the Michael Crichton mode that explores the possible and unintended dangers of the very real efforts to resurrect the woolly mammoth and other long-extinct animals.
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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
An April 2024 Library Reads pick
An April 2024 best new science fiction book at New Scientist
“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!”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Preston’s latest thriller, 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. But most frightening of all, it shines a disturbing light on where the science of genetic engineering might be venturing next. Read at your own risk!”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Doug Preston is a master storyteller. I’m still thinking about Extinction—which is both entertaining and frightening—every page like a tasty treat. You have to read this!—Steve Berry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Preston Delivers a thrilling, unpredictable ride
I'm a huge Preston (& Child) fan, so I gobbled this up.
It's not Jurassic Park, it is most definitely it's own thing, there are occasional similarities (especially with some of the later movies), but Extinction takes you down a different road, and sets up a new and exciting world.
This is more in the vein of a Pendergast or Wyaman Ford story than you might think, I thought we were going to get something along the lines of Relic, but it is more like Still Life with Crows.
I didn't guess where this was heading, I had my ideas as it went along but the final act was an fun shock.
I had some minor issues, Agent Cash took some getting used to, I kept forgetting she was a newer agent, as she seems to be very brash and audacious, but it ended up working great when her and Colcort teamed up, as their differences evened eachother out.
My issues with Cash may also have to do with the narrator, seemed like a missed opportunity to have a woman do this book. Listening to a man try and imitate a girl for the majority of the novel is a bit like nails on a chalkboard, although his work with Colcort and Maximillius was great.
My biggest issue is that the book ends without any hint as to the future of Erebus
(*spoilers)
We get absolutely know indication whether the park is continuing after almost all of its staff were killed, Including CEO, lead scientists and other essential staff. Are the animals ok?
Also, if you listen closely, early on there is what I think to be a subtle reference to the Alec Baldwin movie set shooting. Lol.
Also, there is a mistake in the audio recording at

Short thriller
This book could have been fleshed out better. More character development would have improved it. The climax scenes were interesting, but I wasn’t invested in the characters enough to really feel that heart-pounding tenseness that good suspense provides. I enjoyed the premise, though. Preston does enjoy creating monsters.
As for the narrator, his male narration was spot on, but his female narration was often flat and boneless. I have no idea why a male narrator was chosen for a book with a female protagonist. Bizarre.
