In the desolate Iraqi desert, a lone shepherd stumbles across a
whale fossil. Initial analysis indicates that it could be a new
species-a discovery that could shed light on the evolution debate.
Paleontologist Dr. Katie James is asked to lead an expedition to
recover the rest of the fossil before her archrival, Nick Murad,
can find it first.
But while she''s there, Katie also uncovers the unexpected-a
human fossil so controversial she''s forced to collaborate with
Nick to analyze the find before it can be destroyed by a
fundamentalist faction of the Iraqi government. Their initial
results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems
the whole world turns against them, including those they thought
they could trust most.
Then the fossil disappears, sending Nick and Katie on a chase
that could cost them their reputations, their careers-even their
lives.
