Novelist and Diplomat Ray Nayler - The Tusks of Extinction

Ray Nayler's novel The Mountain in the Sea announced him a major new voice in speculative fiction, able to seamlessly fuse the novel of ideas and the novel of adventure. In his new novella The Tusks of Extinction, Ray continues his exploration of the science of the mind and animal communication and extends his passionate plea for deeper respect for the natural world with the story of  Dr. Damira Khismatullina, an expert in elephant behaviour given the task of raising a new breed of mammoths resurrected by to occupy the Siberian steppe. Tusks confirms his place as one of the most relevant and thrilling authors of our time -- in any genre.
