Mammoth (ePub)

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).
