About this listen

An exciting, joyous story of what happens when a new creature with a new mind, but as intelligent as us, comes into the world.

Found in a dying jungle, six strange babies are spirited off to the United States where a fantastic discovery is made. Like us, they are hominids. They don't share our DNA but they're highly intelligent. So they're animals -less than slaves, but as smart as us. This makes them incredibly valuable and the company that discovered them sees a fortune in the making by selling their offspring. But not if primate expert Beth Cooke, brought in to get them to breed, and her Army Ranger husband Charlie have anything to say about it. Will these brilliant captives get their chance to discover themselves, to look up at the stars, to be free...or will they become an animal commodity, bought and sold like cattle? Get this extraordinary novel today and find out!

I really enjoy books that explore possibilities within a factual context. This book taught me some things while opening my mind. That makes this book a 5 star for me.

So very tired of the violence in most SciFi and Fantasy!

Whitley Streiber has been one of my favorite authors and one of my all around favorite people now for about 40 years, and , as usual, he surprised me with this one. lt's your standard thriller done Strieber style , with some decidedly un- standard creatures called the Tanda. Give it a try, everbody , it's definitely worth that credit! And thanks again Whitley, for creating something new and breathing it full of wonder.

I love every book I've read by Whitley Streiber but this one was one of his best. The storyline was fun, exciting and not like anything I've ever read before. You won't be disappointed.

Really worth the credit

This novel almost escapes categorizing genre-wise, and certainly is a departure from Whitley Strieber's usual works of fiction. It's an excellent story with some true innovation in the telling. The performance of the narrator is outstanding.

A very different Whitley Strieber novel

Whitley Streiber has crafted another compelling and engrossing story of high strangeness, making us question who is really the aliens!

Whitley Does It Again

The story, the concept had so much potential to be an amazing book but I kept waiting for the climax and it never came. Some how I got through the entire book but definitely not at all a story I would recommend.

So much potential...
