Extinction (Refuge Shifters, #1)

Professor of Environmental Science/Wildlife studies at UNLV, Jack McBain has spent his adult life trying to track a legend overheard during his youth. Born and raised in the Canadian Province of Newfoundland, Jack's grandparents related stories of a race of people eradicated by European settlers in 1829. According to the legend, the Beothuk people didn't die out as first thought, but were transformed into wolf shifters. When Newfoundland wolves began to appear in great numbers, the European settlers began killing them under the guise of population control. In 1910 the last of the Newfoundland wolves was shot, making them one of the few extinct species of wolves in the world. Following spotty leads, Jack begins to track what he believes are Beothuk/Newfoundland shifter wolves. His search leads him to the Lake Mead National Recreational Area outside of Las Vegas. There, on Spirit Mountain, he finally comes face to face with not only the shifter he's been looking for, but the man of his dreams he didn't know he needed. Profesor de Ciencias Ambientales y de la Naturaleza en la Universidad de Las Vegas, Jack McBain ha pasado su vida adulta siguiendo la pista a una leyenda inculcada desde su infancia. Nacido y criado en la provincia canadiense de Newfoundland, los abuelos de Jack le contaron historias de una raza erradicada por los colonos europeos en 1829. Segn esta leyenda, el pueblo Beothuck no muri como se pensaba al principio, sino que se convirtieron en lobos transformantes. En el Monte Spirit, finalmente se encuentra cara a cara no slo con el transformante que haba estado buscando, sino el hombre de sus sueos que no saba que necesitaba. Toby ha vivido una vida de constante temor al hombre. Ocultado en las montaas de California y Nevada por sus padres, ha deseado encontrar a la nica persona con la que puede compartir su vida - su compaero. Cuando olfatea a Jack McBain por primera vez, sabe que finalmente le ha encontrado.
