NEANDER

A Time Travel Adventure

"My God. These people really are Neanderthals!"
At an archeological dig in Gibraltar, science journalist Tom Cook’s hopes and dreams are shattered in an instant by a mysterious explosion—his pregnant fiancée is missing.
During the search, things go from bad to worse when Tom plunges through a time portal and into the strange and dangerous era of the Neanderthals. Can he get back, or is he stuck in the past forever?

On top of figuring out how to return to the present, Tom must use his modern-day wits to fight for survival in the world of 40,000 years ago. And contend with a group of archaic humans that are not at all like what he expects.
Finally, Tom faces a crucial decision that could alter the course of human history. A history he knows he has the power to change. Will he make the right choice?

If you're a fan of the time travel fantasy novels of Jack Finney (Time and Again), Stephen King (11/22/63), or Michael Crichton (Timeline), you'll savor this science-fiction, time-travel adventure from historical fiction author Harald Johnson.

"It's 40,000 years ago and I'm stuck here. Now what?" (Book 1 of the series)

Blast to the ancient past

This was a fun read. I really enjoyed it overall. There are some little details that I would change, but there’s a lot of creativity here.
I have often wish there were more tales of an ancient life that were social with characters. There are some really creative ideas here. I would have liked more clarification on certain things in the story, but I won’t spoil them here. I have been interested in historical fiction and non-fiction stories about Neanderthals and evolution since reading clan of the cave bear as a teen. This is a very modernized tale of its own with some similar aspects. I enjoyed it for the most part. At times, the reading was a little awkward and took getting used to. I also felt that somebody who did archaeological digs would use more precise language, for example calling the horse and onager or an Eohippus.
I would have liked further development of the technical aspects of Neanderthal life. Some things are over, explained and some things are not explained at all. There are some suppositions that made sense overall I enjoyed this. I’m not sure I would have given it a chance if it had not been a free download, but I’ve been for days and I may listen to it again. It has almost to choose your own adventure kind of feel to it. Some of the action sequences are definitely goofy. Overall, if you like ancient history, you’re interested in the dawn of mankind or you just like fun historical fiction I think this is worth a shot. This was a free download with my membership, but I really liked it and I would have enjoyed it either way.

TERRIBLE AI narration

I honestly couldn’t even listen to the story bc of the awful AI narration. The cadence of sentences is off, words are mispronounced, emphasis is put on the wrong syllables… Just terrible.
