Resurrecting Bart: A Deep Past Novel

By: Linden, Eugene

"A compelling vision of a maybe-not-so-alternative reality." -Irene M. Pepperberg, PhD, author of Alex and Me

An animal with near magical powers is brought back from extinction, but at what cost?

Anthropologist Claire Knowland discovers DNA from a species the world has never seen before. Now, she faces an unprecedented opportunity: resurrecting an extinct elephant with near-supernatural abilities, but the project spirals into an ethical minefield as her team realizes the world may not be ready for this animal's very different form of intelligence, and that they have an obligation to protect him from those who covet his powers.

Bringing ancient beings back to life attracts dangerous attention. As powerful forces conspire to seize control of their extraordinary creation, Claire and her team must defend the elephant-affably nicknamed Bart-who never asked to be reborn into the chaos of the twenty-first century.

Enemies conspire to use the de-extinct species' powers for their own gain. Ultimately, circumstances force Bart to become aware of the perils of his situation, and his preternatural powers turn out to be the key to saving those around him, and his taking control of his destiny.

From the author who challenged our understanding of evolution in Deep Past comes a provocative sci-fi thriller that blends realistic, cutting-edge science, globe-spanning intrigue, and profound moral conundrums.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and Douglas Preston, this thought-provoking science fiction action thriller explores the ethical boundaries of genetic engineering and de-extinction-and the price we pay when we cross them.
