Reseña del libro "The Nemesis Origin (en Inglés)"
It's the greatest secret in history: mankind should not be here yet... Over 100,000 copies sold! Join the action right here with the first in the series! The legends of ancient cultures contain near-identical descriptions of fiery objects that arrived from the sky, of wise beings that brought them knowledge, and of a great flood that destroyed their cities long, long ago. Modern archaeology dismisses these legends as myths. Ethan Warner knows better. Peru, 1914 Intrepid American explorer Hiram Bingham III discovers the lost Inca citadel of Macchu Picchu, and in doing so launches a race to discover one of the greatest secrets mankind has ever known. Discovered within the citadel are ancient, elongated humanoid skulls that belong to no known species on Earth. Present day Former US Marine and investigative journalist Ethan Warner has shunned civilization after five investigations with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Living alone in the wilderness, he is tracked down by Dr Lucy Morgan, a scientist who once found the seven thousand year-old remains of an unknown species entombed deep in the deserts of Israel. She brings ominous news: there are more remains being found, and there are people willing to kill to obtain them. Hurled into a global conspiracy that will take them from the deep waters of the East China Sea to the sweltering jungles of Cambodia, from the deserts of Egypt to the soaring heights of the Andes mountains, Ethan and Lucy must locate and excavate the remains of ancient people whose DNA carries both a message and a cure for a disease born of a species not of this Earth, and in doing so save the life of one young child and change the course of human history...
