About This Book
In January of 1987, Rebecca Cann, a research scientist from the University of Berkeley, published an astounding discovery. Using mitochondrial DNA as her blueprint, Dr. Cann was able to trace the first human to a solitary female born in Africa about 200,000 years ago. These facts suggest that this large step in evolution occurred within the span of a single lifetime. The study clearly departs from Darwins concept of evolution. Furthermore, there is a fundamental truth hidden in Canns research: if a Genesis event happened once, it is inevitable that it will happen again. No Known SpeciesThe Dark Secret of the Genesis Cycle is a novel that blends Darwins theories and a mysterious force that seems to control the destiny of the human race. The book begins with the recreation of the biblical tale of Genesis; only this time it is not the story of our ancestors birth, but the birth of a vastly superior race and it takes place, not in the Garden of Eden, but in the belly of contemporary society. In 1984, two extraordinary babies are born on identical birth dates, 3000 miles apart, and under mysterious circumstances. Imagine for one moment that you are Peter Gault and Kate Donavon, lone mutants with advanced physical and mental gifts. How would you adjust to a primitive world that was governed by humans? Moreover, would humanity ever learn to accept a race of beings that had such vast superiority? One central question builds in the minds of Kate and Peter: If it were discovered that their birth meant the end of the human race as they knew it, would these special beings be permitted to survive? As the story unfolds, the interwoven lives of Kate and Peter serve to unravel the mystery of the Genesis cycle, and possibly wreak havoc on the natural order of man.
