Publisher's Synopsis
When linguist Lisa Maxwell goes to the Basque Country to seek the unknown origins of the language, she meets some enigmatic characters in a lost village in the Pyrenees Mountains. Who is stealing relics from major cathedrals in Spain, and why? Who are the Illuminati? Who is the physician that flies in by helicopter to examine two little boys, and what does he want from them? What is going on in the state-of-the-art biotechnology laboratory? Soon more questions begin to emerge. Who are the Basques, and why is their language unique? Are they a race apart? What happened to humans after the Fall? What role does Rh-negative blood play here? How do genetics and linguistics combine to unlock the mystery of the origin of humankind? Can creation be reconciled with evolution in a brand new way? Is it possible to clone Jesus? If not, why not? If so, what are the consequences? Sonia Harrison Jones, a PhD from Harvard University in Romance Languages, presents some creative, intelligent answers to these questions and many others in this fascinating first novel.
