For complex reasons, complexly explained, Adam wants to bring back the creatures of the past. He is a singularly long-lived survivor of the original disaster, but he doesn’t pass on his strange genes too readily, since mankind is clearly not ready for immortality. Still, Adam himself is well-armed with skills and knowledge to play god. All he needs is the right measure of influence, and after five-hundred years, he knows well how to win friends and change people’s minds.
Science, nature, society and more prove surprisingly malleable in this tale. The writing combines passages of exciting story-telling with lengthy exposition. Lessons in science and sociology abound. Romance is fast and happy. And religion is relegated to unimportance since it’s so hard to “imagine how any single being could have created the world by intelligent design.” Meanwhile Adam designs and plans, in a weighty mix of Noah’s ark and Creation, while language evolves so far and so fast that no one can “read the original Shakespeare” anymore.
There are occasional typos, and the dialog’s occasionally stilted as it tries to pack so much in. But the concept is certainly intriguing and I do like the hairy people.
