Cover Art: Fangorn Ilustrador. 1st Edition. © 1999: 1st in the 'Mammoth' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Siberia. The present day. The mammoths have measured the slow pulse of the seasons as the Earth spins in its stately annual dance. Their memories stretch back across the million year cycles of the ice sheets. Their stories tell of the making of the world, of the great heroes and heroines of mammoth legend. They even tell of the coming of man. And, as the millennia have passed, their stories have served them well. Until now. Until the moment when mankind discovers the last few mammoths in their remote Siberian island refuge. And seeks to finish the slaughter begun so long ago. For the young female mammoth Silverhair it is her greatest challenge:- Extract: 'A vicious wind is rising, and the ice fields to the north are shrouded in grey haze. And out of that haze something looms: a mountainous shape, seemingly too massive to move, and yet move it does. As it approaches through the obscuring mist, more of its form becomes visible: a body, covered in thick red-brown hair, rounded as an eroded rock. The head rears up. A trunk comes questing, and immense tusks sweep. Eyes open, warm brown, intense, startlingly human'. A mammoth. They have survived:- Review(s): "A new epic of the imagination from 'the best SF writer in Britain'" - SFX:- (original cost £16.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 18.005.00027
