Sena Jeter Naslund - Adam and Eve |
Naslund
delivers a blend of futuristic thriller, religious speculation, and idyllic
romance. In 2017, Lucy Bergmann's astrophysicist husband is murdered just
before he is to reveal the existence of extraterrestrial life. Now, as the
keeper of a copy of his data, Lucy's being stalked by the leaders of a sect
called Perpetuity, who intend to destroy any challenge to their fundamentalist
beliefs. And when Lucy agrees to transport an ancient scroll that offers an
alternate version of the Book of Genesis from Cairo to the Dordogne, she
becomes a double target. The plane she pilots crashes, affording her an
encounter with the gorgeous Adam, an injured, delusional American soldier.
Their chaste but busy domesticity is eventually threatened by the evil
Perpetuity crew, and they face even more danger after an escape to France. Set against the searing debate between
evolutionists and creationists, Adam and
Eve expands the definition of a “sacred book”, and suggests that true
madness lies in wars and violence fueled by all religious literalism and
intolerance. A thriller, a romance, an adventure, and an idyll, Adam and Eve is a tour de force by a
master contemporary storyteller.
