Synopsis

In The Pleistocene Redemption cloning techniques and Fossil Gene Redemption methodology, pioneered in the closing years of the 20th Century, have enabled geneticist Kevin G. Harrigan to regenerate astounding prehistoric animals - including human sub-species. By engaging in genetic manipulation is Harrigan fulfilling a terrifying prophesy? What awesome and mysterious forces await to control or countermand use of Harrigan's breakthrough discoveries? Provocative and controversial, The Pleistocene Redemption is also a harrowing, thrilling adventure. Its scientific and military basis is impeccably sound, and its underlying warning will shock and haunt you. Beneath the surface, The Pleistocene Redemption challenges the mathematical-deterministic theme of Jurassic Park while following in its footsteps and those of similar hard-hitting adventures. A science-fiction thriller based on recent scientific discoveries, it poses powerful ethical questions which everyone, not just scientists and theologians, must face. Subtly refuting every spiritual implication and "insight" of The Celestine Prophecy, The Pleistocene Redemption will not only frustrate rationalists who claim that the spiritual has no place with science, it will discomfort those of any faith who assert that science has no truths to offer religion.
