Look, when you pick up a Douglas Preston novel, you know what you’re in for: a dose of science, a dash of mystery, brisk pacing, decent character development, and an engaging plot. Extinction delivers on all counts. It carries echoes of Jurassic Park, but is still its own thing, rooted in real, cutting-edge science that, if I’m honest, is a little unsettling.
If you’re after deep, thought-provoking prose or literary flourishes, this isn’t that book. Extinction is the reading equivalent of a summer blockbuster or an armchair adventure. Go in with your expectations set accordingly, and you’re in for a good time.
Douglas Preston, and his frequent co-writer, Lincoln Child, are among my most read authors. Their novels don’t demand a lot of mental heavy lifting, but they always deliver a great story. Whether you’re trying to climb out of a reading slump or simply want a dose of pure escapism, their books are a good option.
