From the depths of anthropological history surges an extraordinary creature who will change the destiny of one man - and perhaps mankind - forever. A cryptozoologist and his daughter search for the missing link in the gigantic forests of British Columbia, where ruthless foresters hunt both animals and men, and a powerful American Indian shaman awaits his future initiates.
Lost in this primal setting, a young city-dweller lives out an extraordinary love story with a fascinating ape-woman of savage beauty that promises to revolutionize the human consciousness. Written like a thriller, The Gift of Qâ is an extremely rich and original novel that recounts the breath-taking adventure and metamorphosis of a man subjugated by an overpowering force. Franco-Russian on his mother's side and Haitian on his father's, Jean-Marc Pasquet spent his youth travelling four continents. He is a writer, musician, film director and actor. Qâ s Gift is his second novel.
