Yuri Khundi guided his sled closer to the riverbank. He couldn't believe his eyes. What had looked like just another frozen carcass turned out to be an extraordinary discover: a perfectly preserved baby mammoth. The frozen soil of Siberia, where Yuri and other Nenets live, acts like a giant freezer for the remains of all kinds of Ice Age animals, but Yuri had never seen anything like this before. The little calf looked as though it could have died yesterday.

Thanks to Yuri, baby Lyuba was soon delivered into the protective care of a team of mammoth experts and scientists who were bursting with questions. When did Lyuba live? How did she die? What kept her so well preserved? What secrets could she reveal about her prehistoric world?

Award-winning author Christopher Sloan, with the help of Francis Latreille's photography and interviews with the experts involved, makes readers eye-witnesses to the investigation into this Ice Age treasure. They will learn about radiocarbon dating, find out what secrets CT scans revealed, and discover how an autopsy helped uncover answers about Lyuba's untimely death. From the high-tech world of the 21st century they'll journey back 42,000 years to Lyuba's Ice Age home and ponder theories about why mammoths disappeared.

Is there a chance these Ice Age giants could live again? Read on to find out?
