Summary

It began in Ethiopia, hundreds of thousands of years ago, when a handful of genetic mutations caused evolution to split from the primates and mankind was born. Now, eons later, evidence of more splits from the apes is being unearthed. And with them, a disturbing realization. Ours was only one of many. 

And yet we survived. But it was not by luck or chance. We survived because humans had something the others did not. A unique ingredient that has only now been rediscovered. 

First in the mountains of South America, where it was promptly destroyed by the Chinese. And now, a second source in Africa, the epicenter of mankind's very inception. A place that John Clay and Alison Shaw must find quickly. Because the Russians already know what we are searching for. And the Chinese want back what is rightfully theirs. 

The mother of all secrets awaits the world in Africa. One that will not only explain who we are, but will decipher the very code within our own DNA.

Another brilliant instalment

I literally stumbled upon this series in the audible plus catalogue and do glad I did, I have read / listened to all 4 back to back and looking forward to starting the 5th already. Love the characters and how they are evolving and love the way the stories are unfolding.

brilliant!

I loved the books and love Scott Brick reading it. I also enjoyed the concepts. I would like an author's note about current research on the topics in the book.

Intelligent and well thought out novel

China, Russia, Rwanda and Aliens, what’s not to like with Ripple. Another super addictive addition to the story… You will like this one!
