Historical | Science Fiction

Neanderthal Sunset captures the final days of a brave and noble species as it nears extinction.

The fossil record is unclear.

Did Neanderthal speak?

Did he laugh, have music, feel love?

Did he interact with Homo sapiens or get killed by him in mortal combat or get pushed to extinction on less marginal lands?

This book answers some of those questions in a carefully researched fictional setting.

Meet Strong Arms, leader of the clan, a hunter with strong muscular hands and tawny, reddish‑brown hair.

Predator species have spite hardwired into their behavior.

Killing the competition before it grows up is always a good genetic strategy for any meat‑eater.

Now, take one that's smart, adaptive, and a consummate tool‑user, and you have the makings for a conflict of monumental proportions.

It's man versus Neanderthal in the mountains of Iberia. Only one will survive. You may be surprised by which.
