Synopsis

Jurassic Park meets H. G. Wells in this novel about a multibillionaire, a time machine, and a baby woolly mammoth named Little Fuzzy. Not content with investing his fortune and watching it grow, multibillionaire Howard Christian buys rare cars that he actually drives, acquires collectible toys that he actually plays with, and builds buildings that defy the imagination. But now his restless mind has turned to a new obsession: cloning a mammoth. In a barren province of Canada, a mammoth hunter financed by Christian has made the discovery of a lifetime: an intact frozen woolly mammoth. But what he finds during the painstaking process of excavating the huge creature baffles the mind. Huddled next to the mammoth is the mummified body of a Stone Age man around twelve thousand years old. And he is wearing a wristwatch. It looks like Howard Christian is going to get his wish-and more.
