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. "[A] rollicking, bittersweet tale of time travel and ecology…Varley's sparkling wit pulls one surprise after another out of this unconventional blend of science and social commentary with real people convincingly doing unreal things…Varley should garner new laurels with this outstanding effort." "Indulges all the ploys of a Michael Crichton-style blockbuster as it pitches to the reading public's passion for prehistoric beasts, throws in flashy time-travel paradoxes, and sets up a feud between eccentric geniuses, one of whom, not coincidentally, resembles Bill Gates." "A captivating time-travel thriller. Although he delves deeply into scientific and metaphysical principles, Varley never loses sight of his characters, who, like the engaging baby mammoth Fuzzy, keep the book alive…[along with] its great humor, intelligent prose, spiritual discovery, and great emotional range."
