Review by: Brendan Foley on Feb. 25, 2011 :
I am a big Tom Clancy fan and love thrillers. Lewis has created a masterpiece here. It is amazing to think that it is a first foray into thrillers for the author. I found this book a compulsive page turner that drew me in deeper and deeper. A must for your book shelf, ipad or reader!

Review by: Stephen Cullen on Feb. 09, 2011 :
Hominine is a great modern day thriller that brings you on a page turning roller coaster, with occasional philosophical interludes which make you ponder on where we are going as the human race. This fast-slow-fast pace is a very appealing characteristic of the book. It weaves together several plots, leaving subtle clues as to how they might come together in end, but keeps you guessing all the way. I got as much kick of reading this book as I would from other masters of the art - Lee Child, Kathy Reichs, Stieg Larsson. Looking forward to the next one Lewis!

Review by: Ken Camp on Jan. 27, 2011 :
I had the privilege of reading a pre-release first draft of Hominine. At about the halfway point, I noted that it felt like a master work the caliber of Grisham, Clancy and Brown. This is clearly no entry level work, but the craft of a masterful storyteller. In retrospect, the Hominine Project represents the Sword of Damocles for the information age.

Hominine weaves a tale of intrigue and espionage tightly coupled with political greed and a global power grab. Like any good power struggle, the roots of the story lead us back to an effort to better mankind through noble efforts. Purpose coupled with power tends to corrupt. In the world today, political corruption frequently lead to weapons of aggression, and Evans surpasses our worst fears, turning an effort to better mankind into a possibly indefensible weapon.

Yet, Hominine goes far beyond simple entertainment. It provides clarity and a path for mankind that can alter our course and lead us all to a path of understanding that will alter even outcomes already set in motion. It should be required reading for anyone in politics, technology and business who's looking for new ideas in doing something extraordinary.
