Book 17: The Tusks of Extinction. This novella by Ray Nayler will be hugely appreciated by folks who liked The Mountain in the Sea. That one looked at octopus consciousness, this one looks at (potential, possible?) mammoth consciousness and goes a bit into some of those "We're going to bring back mammoths from their old DNA" stories that have been shuttling around. Started off a bit confusing but went a bunch of places I enjoyed.
