It’s so short that I can’t tell you much about the plot without giving it away, but we see this world through the eyes of poachers, a murdered elephant biologist and activist, and the mammoths themselves.
There’s some switching between events in the past and the future, without telling you what’s going on, so that takes a little while to comes to terms with.
Like some of the best science fiction short stories, this felt more like a thorough exploration of an idea rather than a big adventure quest. I like me my quests, but I also really enjoyed this story.
Recommendation: It has mammoths. Read it.
