About this ebook
They have measured the slow pulse of the seasons as the Earth spins 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. And as the millenia have passed, their legends have served them well.
And a thousand years from now, on a different world, they will be the difference between life and death, between extinction and a future as long as the past.
This new ebook edition collects three of Stephen Baxter's early books together for the first time.
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.
