Omtale Darwin's radio
Darwin's radio: the missing-link thriller
The discovery of a mass grave of mutated villagers in the Caucasus; a mummified prehistoric family revealed by ice-thaw high in the Alps; a mysterious new disease that strikes only pregnant women, resulting in miscarriage - three disparate facts that will converge into one science-shattering truth.
So-called junk genes that have slept in our DNA for millions of years are waking up; the women who miscarry become spontaneously pregnant again without sexual activity. The new babies are not normal.
Governments enact emergency measures: segregation of the sexes, abortion of all foetuses. Only three scientists in the world believe it isn't a plague: famous biologist Kaye Lang, disgraced paleontologist Mitch Rafelson and the government's "virus hunter" Christopher Dicken. Can their leap of faith overcome mass panic and superstition?
