Bear draws on state-of-the-art biological and anthropological research to give us an ingeniously plotted thriller that questions everything we believe about human origins and destiny – as civilization confronts the next terrifying step in evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mass grave in Russia that conceals the mummified remains of two women, both with child – and the conspiracy to keep it secret… a major discovery high in the Alps: the preserved bodies of a prehistoric family – the newborn infant possessing disturbing characteristics… a mysterious disease that strikes only pregnant women, resulting in miscarriage. Three disparate facts that will converge into one science-shattering truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolecular biologist Kaye Lang, a specialist in retroviruses, believes that ancient diseases encoded in the DNA of humans can again come to life. But her theory soon becomes chilling reality. For Christopher Dicken – a ‘virus hunter’ at the Epidemic Intelligence Service – has pursued an elusive flu-like disease that strikes down expectant mothers and their offspring. The shocking link: something that has slept in our genes for millions of years is waking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, as the outbreak of this terrifying disease threatens to become a deadly epidemic, Dicken and Lang, along with anthropologist Mitch Rafelson, must race against time to assemble the pieces of a puzzle only they are equipped to solve. An evolutionary puzzle that will determine the future of the human race… if a future exists at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150858010782,"sku":"HPC-9780006511380","price":13.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780006511380.jpg?v=1780273449","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780006511380","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
