From the author of the bestselling "Neanderthal "comes this novel
of gripping suspense and scientific conquest-a page-turning
historical mystery that brilliantly explores the intrigue behind
Darwin and his theory of evolution.
It's 1831, and aboard HMS "Beagle "the young Charles Darwin sets
off down the English Channel for South America. More than 150 years
later, two ambitious scholars pursuing their obsession with Darwin
(and with each other) come across the diaries and letters of
Darwin's daughter. What they discover is a maze of violent
rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, and the
extraordinary story of an expedition embarked upon by two men. Only
one returned-and changed history forever.
