The Prancestor Project
Regarded as "quirky" (he's on the autism spectrum), anthropologist David Denlon leads a loner life until he discovers zircon containing billion-year-old biogenic material. His find makes him a murder target and thrusts him into covert operations. He struggles to develop interpersonal skills and survival techniques as he works on translating a message left for us from an extinct human race.

I know this will meet with “discussion,” but I initially didn’t pay any attention to the author. It was a free book. The review intrigued me. As a former English teacher, I feel I’ve read thousands of books. And I can’t remember when I thought the main character’s “voice” wasn’t the same gender as was stated! The story is great! I love the premise. The villain is truly villainous. I reverted to chewing my nails at points. I even loved the fact that there was an ending…not a “to be continued” in the next book!
But the voice of Denlon was feminine. Although much of the time it wasn’t a problem, it was unsettling. Halfway through the book (on a Kindle) I opened to the cover & found the author was Christine Morse. Perhaps she didn’t feel comfortable with her scientist being a woman. IDK. It may not bother any one but me.

Future or Bust
I adore that the lead character, Dr. David Denlon, is, among other things, neurodivergent. As an incredibly smart anthropologist, he leads the reader through his own world as well as the world that he has discovered.
The Prancester Project combines all of the best elements of a heart-pounding thriller, a believable historical mystery and a science fiction adventure into a blockbuster novel.
With so many twists and turns in the plot, you won't know the difference between the evildoers and the heroes until the end. Highly recommended.

First half was fairly good. Then, I got impatient with the multiple story lines (kidnap mom, crazy pastor, etc.) There were a few love-making scenes that I don't know why ..... Same as adding the 'spectrum boy' story into the main character.
I skipped around the last 200 pages and it seemed to drag along with wasted dialogue and activity.
Not sure how I feel overall about the book.

Absolutely excellent
If only... You will be intrigued with the crux of the story and believe along with the characters, that humans can be so bad, but some can be so true to themselves that they inspire others to go farther than they thought they ever could.

Riveting
Plenty of action and good sci-fi that involves an nteresting concept, keeping you involved and intrigued through the whole novel.

Heart warming
A thought provoking plot and plot twists everywhere. The characters are well drawn and believable. There is hope for us yet.
