Matt ans Susan, two rival palaeontologists and former lovers, are summoned by a secret US goverment agency to help locate their college mentor, who has disappeared without trace in the remote mountains of Tajikstan. It appears that a race of Neanderthals have survived on the roof of the world, the high Himalayas. When Matt and Susan finally make contact, the implications of their dramatic discovery are more than simply scientific. These hominids have the uncanny facility for telepathic communication, and both American and Russian agents would like to harness their power for military and espionage purposes. 'Darnton narrates his rollicking tale with just the right tone of straightfaced experience he needs to make everything seem pretty plausible. (In particular the ESP skill of protohumans, something called 'remote viewing', is hair-raisingly believable. ) 'NEANDERTHAL' is perfect vacation reading: entertaining, midly educational and scary enough to make you grateful that the only neanderthals you're likely to meet will be the kind who cut into your lane on the expressway to the beach.

Price un-clipped.368pp including Bibliography. This is another paragraph From Library Journal: Matt Morrison and Susan Arnot, archaeologists and ex-lovers, are summoned to investigate an odd find: an apparently new Neanderthal skull. They rush to Tadjikistan and foray into some of the least hospitable terrain in Asia. Not too unexpectedly, they find their quarry only to discover a long-lost mentor who is guarding unsettling moral, political, and archaeological secrets that threaten their lives and those of the reclusive Neanderthals. Untangling the puzzle involves figuring out why one tribe is vegetarian and peaceful, the other martial and carnivorous; why their brains are larger than those of contemporary humans; and how they communicate without speech. When government agents intrude and threaten the scientific find, the two scientists must survive, rescue their old friend, deceive American and Russian intelligence gatherers, and balance a study of an astounding archaeological find with the interests of the tribes.

Absolutely literary genius!! There are only a few books that I feel this good about, but "Neanderthal" is at the top of the list. If you're looking for a book to enlighten and scare the sense out of you at the same time, you have found it. I think the cover of the book is a good depiction of what you will find inside.
