Neanderthal by John Darnton (1996, Hardcover)

Neanderthal
Their Time Has Come
by John Darnton
Publisher:  Random House
Copyright 1996
FIRST EDITION

The most eagerly anticipated adventure novel of the year has arrived.  Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Darnton is about to take you on a fantastic journey that will make you believe the impossible.

Rarely does a first novel capture the imagination of publishing and film insiders the way Neanderthal has.  Sold to twelve foreign countries before its publication, a Main Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, and the first book that director Steven Spielberg will turn into a movie for Dreamworks, Neanderthal is already an international sensation.  It will take you only a few riveting pages to see why.

In the mountains of northern Asia, a guerrilla fighter vanishes, a schoolgirl is murdered, and an eminent Harvard paleontologist disappears.  To a shadowy government agency in Maryland, these are all signs that something has gone terribly wrong with the most extraordinary expedition ever mounted.  Matt Mattison and Susan Arnot, who were once lovers and are now academic rivals, are dispatched to find the secret their Harvard mentor was seeking:  a species linked to the origins of mankind.

They have existed for over forty thousand years.

They possess powers man cannot even imagine.

And in a world dominated by humans, they are about to alter the face of civilization forever.
