Publisher's summary

When you bring back a long-extinct species, there’s more to success than the DNA.

Moscow has resurrected the mammoth, but someone must teach them how to be mammoths, or they are doomed to die out, again.

The late Dr. Damira Khismatullina, the world’s foremost expert in elephant behavior, is called in to help. While she was murdered a year ago, her digitized consciousness is uploaded into the brain of a mammoth.

Can she help the magnificent creatures fend off poachers long enough for their species to take hold?

And will she ever discover the real reason they were brought back?

A tense eco-thriller from a new master of the genre.

If you liked Mountain in the Sea, you’ll like this

Excellent! This short book is chock full of good stuff, and had my interest from beginning to end. Its premise is a subject I was already interested in, and Ray Nayler didn’t disappoint. I usually listen to audiobooks while doing house work; it’s a rare thing that I get so into something that I just stop, sit down somewhere (the ground lol) and listen. The narration is tip-top as well.

Disappointing

It was an ok listen but I'm not sure what the point was. Overall it struck me as preachy and unimaginative. Not remotely on the same level as The Mountain in the Sea in my opinion.
