Jack Dempsey, Chair of the Archeology Department at the University of London, recruited by CIA for his largely unrestricted world travel capabilities has both Henri Merceau and Hannah deTangeray as graduate students, actively engaged in a study of ancient man which not only mirrors many of the activities of our modern culture but also the most current efforts of ISIS in the construction of a world wide Caliphate, Russia, Iran, China; trying also to assert or reassert their worldwide power. On the expedition to Peru studying the Nazcan Lines, giant geoglyphs man made architecture dwarfing the pyramids and Stonehenge, Henri and Hannah set out to prove Dempsey’s hypothesis that rather than religious artifact of man, they were no different than Wall Street, Walmart and the lure of gold; a way to entice and entrap one culture by another so to gain the benefits of slavery and economic superiority with which came a races or cultures dominion and perpetuity. Ironically, these archeologists, close on their proof that Homo Sapien used Neanderthal, ultimately effecting their extinction, it was more the right of the mighty, Europeans with African slaves, Columbus with the indigenous natives, Wall St. with the poor and man's insatiable appetite for war; that caused the extinction of the race, not the evolutionary adaptability of one or the other. Kidnapped and held for ransom by old tribes of South Americans who historically hunted whites for their fat, using them for the European slave trade, a skin ointment for wealthy European aristocracy, Henri and Hannah, like trades in Rhino horn and Ivory, were but pawns in a lucrative game of chess and but for Jack Dempsey's friendship and call upon CIA to extricate Hannah and Henri, proving the point of their expedition, setting out to display the instinctive incantation of evil, unwittingly they nearly became it's heedless object.

Warning! This is a philosophical/archaeological treatise masquerading as a fiction book – so be prepared to think. Unfortunately, it is often convoluted and repetitive.Jack Dempsey is a college professor of archaeology who believes that Neanderthals disappeared because they were eventually killed off by Homo sapiens, even though there is evidence that at some point the two groups interbred. Dempsey’s argument is that theoretically the two groups could have lived together peacefully, but humans inherently try subjugate each other for power. Working with the Brookings Institute and DOD, Dempsey expands this idea to show how conflicts in the modern world are little different from what happen tens of thousands of years ago. In his classroom, Dempsey uses a modified Socratic method where he leads by asking questions and lets the students discover ideas and beliefs through dialogue, argument, and more questions.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of character development and at times it is difficult to know which character is speaking. Most of the settings seem dull; the descriptions of them are flat.
The most excitement comes near the end of the book when two of the main characters are captured while on an archaeological quest to prove Dempsey’s theory and succeed in an unexpected way.
If this were an essay, I would give it five stars, but it needs more work to succeed as a popular novel. On the other hand, I’m not sure that this author is trying to be popular in the common sense. If you can wend your way through it, this book may stimulate your mind.
