Extinct

From the Gulf of Mexico's warm shallow waters . . . to the deepest parts of the Pacific . . . terror comes to the surface: "Wilson is a wizard plotter." —Los Angeles Times Six-year-old Paul Haines watches as two older boys dive into a coastal river . . . and don't come up. His mother, Carolyn, a charter boat captain on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, finds herself embroiled in the tragedy to an extent she could never have imagined. Carolyn joins the marine biologist Alan Freeman in the hunt for a creature that is terrorizing the waters along the Gulf Coast. But neither of them could have envisioned exactly what kind of danger they are facing. Yet one man, Admiral Vandiver, does know what this creature is, and how it has come into the shallows. And his secret obsession with it will force him, as well as Paul, Carolyn and Alan, into a race against time . . . and a race toward death. "Summer reading at its best, but you will remember the story long after fall leaves turn golden." —BookPage "Non-stop action, well researched, fun reading." —The Mobile Press Register "As in all Charles Wilson novels, the style is unique and original—and frighteningly real." —The Jackson Clarion-Ledger "Eminently plausible, chilling in its detail, and highly entertaining straight through to its finale." —Dr. Dean A. Dunn, Professor of Oceanography and Paleontology, University of Southern Mississippi
