The author is not afraid to touch on evolution versus creation and does it in a thoughtful way. A surprising hero with satisfying twists makes the story a real page turner.

Superior Species:Evolution Defies God's DesignBy Tony Philips PublishAmerica - 2003ISBN: 1-59286-099-0Reviewed by Diane Sewell- 6/03 forDenise's Pieces Author Site & Book Reviewshttp://www.denisemclark.com One need not like science fiction, or be a sci-fi fan to enjoy and be captivated by this wonderfully unique novel. The story revolves around Marsha Peters, who heads up a college research team that collects specimens from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and discovers an alternate life form there. The intrigue and basis of this story is an intermingling of science and the most basic tenet of theology - the belief in God. The author utilizes a smooth-flowing prose to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, taking them along on a journey to help the science team help save humanity. This reviewer hesitates to give away much of the fantastic plotline so as not to spoil the plot for readers, but suffice it to say that this is a wonderful story of the ageless controversy of creation versus evolution. The author has grabbed the opportunity to evoke compassion and a bond between all the great characters in the research team, regardless of the reader's stance on the theory of evolution or personal religious convictions. Superior Species is a rare treat to the senses, and one which leaves the reader thinking about it long after the last page is turned. If you read one book this summer, make this one it, for you surely won't be disappointed.
