This book blindsided me with its explosive blend of ancient mysteries and cutting-edge science. I was captivated by how Riddle wove together seemingly disparate elements—a structure in Antarctica, autism research in Jakarta—into a thrilling quest that challenges everything I thought I knew about human origins.

The ethical implications of these discoveries drove me to research and question long-held beliefs. This thriller didn’t just keep me up all night reading; it left me eager for the sequel.

From Monica's list on Sci-fi thrillers that unravel humanity’s secrets.

A couple of years later, I got an audio and listened again while on vacation in Mexico, so much so that my wife still hasn’t forgiven me.

From LeRoy's list on post apocalyptic without the usual violent stories.
