David Rubenstein's Reviews > Extinction

The beginning of this book reminded me of Jurassic Park. A large resort and nature reserve named "Erebus" in Colorado serve as the scenario. Woolly mammoths and other extinct animals have been resurrected, as a tourist attraction.

A young couple on their honeymoon are kidnapped or killed. Law enforcement people come in to investigate. The main character is named Cash, from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. She and Colcord, the local sheriff get involved in the investigation. Cash has intuitive feelings that the resort is withholding information. She is mystified, because it is obvious that the resort should want the kidnapping resolved as quickly as possible.

The pacing is quick, and the plot comes to a gripping climax at the end. The book held my attention throughout. It's not a profound book, but it is certainly entertaining!

I did not read this book; I listened to the audiobook, narrated by David Aaron Baker. He is a fantastic narrator. Baker speaks with a different accent for each main character, bringing the book to life!
