Starting with the story of SilverHair, the last of the few remaining mammoths that have survived in a Siberian evolutionary backwater the MAMMOTH trilogy is the story of the mammoths of history and legend. It is their story built on their own myths and traditions. Conscious and intelligent, the mammoths of this trilogy have, within the limits of their nature, their own culture and oral mythology, even a creation myth, which they will use to tell their story, understand their world and try to cope with the encroachments of mankind. In Book One Silverhair must lead the last surviving family of mammoths to safety when a party of Russian sailors is shipwrecked on the Siberian island the mammths have hidden on through the millennia. The hope for the future lies in her skill and wit and with the calf she is carrying.

Cover Art: Fangorn (illustrateur). 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). N° de réf. du vendeur 18.005.00027
