Publisher's summary

A gripping science fiction thriller

Twelve thousand years ago, when the glaciers melted, the level of human sentience mysteriously surged. After millions of years of slow and steady growth, it's as if a light switch had suddenly been thrown. Was it extraterrestrials, gods, or supernatural beings that lit that spark? What if that ancient knowledge and those helping hands that lifted us out of the darkness of our caves and into the light of our easy chairs were closer to home?

The legendary Edoardo Ballerini reads the audiobook.

A new take on scientific history

Interesting speculation on how civilization advanced so fast. Rather than aliens, ancestors are the reason and will we learn the lessons from them

Great story and premise. The narrator is 5 star!

I really enjoyed the story and its characters. It was very suspenseful, and action packed. Very hard to put down! I am looking forward to book three for sure.

Excellent

An excellent book that had me at the edge of my seat. Narration performance was quite good. A wonderful novel if you’re into new ideas that challenge mainstream thinking.

The sky is falling!

This series is just another regurgitation of the climate change scam.
No Climate Cult Clown has ever been right about anything, ever.
