Monkey Trap
Nova Sapiens Book 1
by LEE DENNING
Paperback, 423 pages
Published October 1st 2004 by Twilight Times Books
Condition: very good.
Lara and John are given the incredible powers of the next stage of human evolution by two alien visitors. One wants to help the human race fulfill its potential, to transition into the Nova sapiens state. The other wants to use those powers to return the race to a more primitive state of mindlessness and darkness, to assert its power. But which is which? The human protagonists' identities are concealed from each other, and they are set on a collision course to death and destruction.
Thus begins an intricate psychodrama and a furious battling chase in which John and Lara have to penetrate induced alien falsehoods, rely on their inner strengths, and relinquish power in favor of love. If they are to survive. If the human race is to survive.
This story takes place today, in familiar places. It launches from the current cutting edges of knowledge about human development and consciousness. Slight twists from this state suspend disbelief, and embedded mysticism creates a powerful undercurrent.
Got a 4-asterisk rating on Goodreads!
A Couple of Reviews:
“... exceptionally well-written... action moves along nicely, seldom slows, and the tension builds to an inevitable climax... ranks with the best thrillers being written these days...”
-- John Crispin-Ripley, Know Better
MONKEY TRAP is a terrific science fiction starring two humans who become the battle armor for aliens at war. Readers will wonder who the evil species is as the evidence is cleverly designed so that the audience keeps switching perspective to include one or the other, both and even neither.
