Now on the 150th anniversary of the catastrophe, a small group of men and women--as well as a smarter-than-average dire wolf and saber-toothed cat--are suddenly faced with decisions of which the stakes are higher than ever before. Will Earth repeat the cycle of unbridled hubris? Or is humankind's destiny even stranger than that?"--Jacket.
