What if it wasn't aliens? A rousing, fast-paced novel of time travel unlike any other, from acclaimed author Wil McCarthy.
DEEP DIVE
Before disaster erased the coastlines and river valleys of the Antediluvian age—before the mythic Flood—men and women struggled and innovated in a world of savage contrasts. It turns out that our legends of the Stone Age are even older than we think. It was a time when a world of archetypes and myths was written upon the fabric of humanity in the deepest way—a world that has only been preserved in the oldest stories with no way to actually visit it.
Until now.
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 the birth of humanity itself—that are very real. And very deadly.
