An Impossible Promise...A Remarkable Discovery...A Decision for Mankind...When Ryan Webster is summoned to a Miami hospice by his dying grandfather, he knows his hero's life is about to end. A renowned zoologist and founder of the world's most famous primate park, his grandfather tells Ryan about a remarkable species of monkey kept secret by the Webster men since their discovery in 1926, the year after the Scopes Monkey Trial. Ryan makes an impossible promise when he's told he has a unique gift and agrees that only he can save them and decide if the world is now ready to deal with the fallout from their revelation.As Ryan follows his grandfather's clues to California and beyond, he's tracked by a relentless mercenary, targeted by radical Christians and hunted by the world's most famous atheist. Aided by his crazy Iraqi War veteran turned surfer-dude uncle and the most enchanting but deadly woman he's ever met, Ryan discovers the monkeys can do much more than swim, and he learns their revelation will shock evolutionist, rock the foundation of the Bible and transform the life of every human being on earth.Now, his only hope to stay alive is to save the monkeys and live up to his promise to the greatest man he ever knew--and in the process become the man he's not ready to be.Swimming Monkeys: Genesis is an extraordinary thriller that blends real-science and riveting fiction to examine the on-going struggle between science and religion and the fallout that could affect us all.… (más)

It is an honor to be the first one to review this book. When I first picked it up I had no idea what to expect. What I found was one of the most creative premises for a story that I have read in years. Even if the protagonist's uncle says dude a few to many times and that I guessed ahead what was going to happen at the end it did not detract from my enjoyment. The book centers around the issue of evolution which for some is still an issue. I am not going to tell you the story which will destroy your discoveries as you read it. You really need to read the book with an open mind and it will blow you away. Book two and three if they are as good as the first one should be dynamite. If Mr. Hadden continues to write thinking outside the box like he does in this book will be one of my favorite writers. Treat yourself and buy this book. ( )
