| Summary |
A "rollicking, bittersweet tale of time travel and ecology" from the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author of the Gaea Trilogy ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). "H. G. Wells meets Jurassic Park " in this novel about a multibillionaire, a time machine, and a baby woolly mammoth named Little Fuzzy ( The Best Reviews ). The discovery of a perfectly preserved frozen mammoth in the Canadian wilderness gives wealthy visionary Howard Christian the opportunity of a lifetime: to clone it. But what really piques Christian's curiosity is what he finds next to the mammoth: a metal box -- and the mummified body of a man wearing a watch. Working to discover the box's purpose and clone the mammoth, a top physicist and an elephant veterinarian will be flung thousands of years into the past and back again -- bringing a baby mammoth along for the ride -- in this "imaginative and engaging" adventure that shows "Varley ... in top form" ( San Francisco Chronicle ). Praise for John Varley "John Varley is the best writer in America." -- Tom Clancy "There are few writers whose work I love more than John Varley's, purely love." -- Cory Doctorow "One of science fiction's most important writers." -- The Washington Post "Inventive." -- The New York Times "One of the genre's most accomplished storytellers." -- Publishers Weekly. |
