Synopsis
Robert J. Sawyer, the award-winning and bestselling writer, hits the peak of his powers in Humans, the second book of The Neanderthal Parallax, his trilogy about our world and parallel one in which it was the Homo sapiens who died out and the Neanderthals who became the dominant intelligent species. This powerful idea allows Sawyer to examine some of the deeply rooted assumptions of contemporary human civilization dramatically, by confronting us with another civilization, just as morally valid, that has made other choices. In Humans, Neanderthal physicist Ponter Boddit, a character you will never forget, returns to our world and to his relationship with geneticist Mary Vaughan, as cultural exchanges between the two Earths begin.
As we see daily life in another present-day world, radically different from ours, in the course of Sawyer's fast-moving story, we experience the bursts of wonder and enlightenment that are the finest pleasures of science fiction. Humans is one of the best SF novels of the year, and The Neanderthal Parallax is an SF classic in the making.
Humans is a 2004 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel.

Condition: Good. In the Hugo Award-winning Hominids, Neanderthal quantum physicist Ponter Boddit fell through an interdimensional portal into our version of reality. In this Hugo-nominated sequel, Ponter -- a character you'll never forget -- returns to our world and his growing relationship with geneticist Mary Vaughan, exploring our society with his penetrating, alien gaze. Sawyer takes on guns, religious assumptions, automobiles, and even the Big Bang in this highly entertaining tale of a (more or less) rational Outsider. The chapter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial should be required reading for anyone who wishes to sit in the Oval Office. -- Jack McDevitt on Humans The most unusual love story you've ever read. -- Rocky Mountain News on Humans The biggest job of science fiction is to portray the Other.
