Mammoth

Multibillionaire Howard Christian is one of the wealthiest- and most eccentric- men in the country. 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 aroun 12,000 years old. And he is wearing a wristwatch. It looks like Howard Christian is going to get his wish- and much more... Never afraid of risks, award-winning author John Varley took readers by storm with his last novel, and now Varley takes another leap into the unknown with "Mammoth".
