I picked this up at Goodwill on a whim; little did I suspect how utterly bonkers it would be. The plot sounds like Dan Brown or Michael Crichton--a secret society of the faithful seek to suppress proof of extraterrestrial life AND a newly found version of Genesis. Lucy and the evidence crash land in a fantastical Eden near Baghdad--and there's a naked guy named Adam there. Literary style with a wild, occasionally gruesome, consistently startling plot.
