A mysterious Nazi super weapon, hidden for more than 60 years, has been discovered by members of a reclusive, private think tank and perfected using modern technology. This fully realized and reliable device is so powerful, so provocative, that the basic beliefs of science, history and religion could be overturned in an instant.

After a cataclysmic system failure kills an expedition attempting to return to the year 100,000 B.C., a team of skeptical scientists and adventurers is dispatched to the Antediluvian world, a world that no one anticipated full of wonder, danger and advanced civilizations that will rock the accepted theories of science and history to their core.

However, the team is unaware of another plan that is unfolding; there are people who will kill to use this remarkable machine to further their own plans for our past and future.

It is books like this one that make me glad I gave science fiction a chance a few years ago. Sam Batterman's Christian fiction is a page-turning, time-travelling, roller coaster ride back to the days just before The Flood.  This book would be a great choice for a book club as it would provide hours of discussion on Creationism, Intelligent Design and Evolution. My one complaint would be the time-travel back to 1967 Jerusalem section, it was a distraction for me as I wanted to stay with the team that was discovering the Ark.

Check out the author's website.

Read the first chapter here.

Hm sounds good but unsure, why 100.000, cos we were "created" then?

I don't do well reading sci-fi, but the Christian aspect has me intrigued.

Thanks for playing!

I'm not a huge SciFi fan but the way you talked about this one makes me rethink it!
