Overview

What if our legends are older than we think?  All the Stone Age has left behind are rocks and bones; all other materials have rotted away, leaving no trace.  But what if "cave men" never existed, and the Stone Age was a time of great sophistication still preserved in our oldest stories?In a brilliant and dangerous brain hacking experiment, Harv Leonel and Tara Mukherjee are about to discover entire lifetimes of human memory coded in our genes, and reveal ancient legends - from knights and trolls, to flood myths, to the birth of humanity itself - that are as real as they are deadly.Before disaster erased the coastlines and river valleys of the Antediluvian age--before the Flood--men and women struggled and yearned and innovated in a world of savage contrasts into which Harv and Tara are thrust, unprepared.  Will their science be enough to save them?About Wil McCarthy:"McCarthy is an entertaining, intelligent, amusing writer, with Heinlein's knack for breakneck plotting and, at the same time, Clarke's thoughtfulness."--Booklist"'Imagination really is the only limit.'"--The New York Times"The future as McCarthy sees it is a wondrous place."--Publishers Weekly"A bright light on the SF horizon."--David Brin "Wil McCarthy demonstrates that he has a sharp intelligence, a galaxy-spanning imagination, and the solid scientific background to make it all work."--Connie Willis "In nearly every passage, we get another slice of the science of McCarthy's construction, and a deeper sense of danger and foreboding... McCarthy develops considerable tension."--San Diego Union-Tribune"An ingenious yarn with challenging ideas, well-handled technical details, and plenty of twists and turns."--Kirkus
