When scientist Kate Larkin joins a secretive project to re-engineer the climate by resurrecting extinct species, she becomes enmeshed in another, even more clandestine program to recreate our long-lost relatives, the Neanderthals.

But when the first of the children, a girl called Eve, is born, Kate finds herself torn between her duties as a scientist and her urge to protect their time-lost creation.

Set against the back-drop of hastening climate catastrope, Ghost Species is an exquisitely beautiful and deeply affecting exploration of connection and loss in an age of connection and loss in an age of planetary trauma.

As Eve grows to adulthood she and Kate must face the question of who and what she is. Is she natural or artificial? Human, or non-human? And perhaps most importantly, as civilisation unravels around them, is Eve the ghost species, or are we?

 

To win one of five copies of Ghost Species by James Bradley, tell us the Neanderthal child's name.


Competition Information


Ghost Species
When scientist Kate Garrard joins a secretive project to re-engineer the climate by resurrecting extinct species she becomes enmeshed in another, even more, a clandestine program to recreate our long-lost relatives, the Neanderthals. But when the first of the children, a girl called Eve, is born, Kate cannot bear the thought her growing up in a laboratory, and so elects to abduct her, and raise her alone. Set against the backdrop of hastening climate catastrophe, Ghost Species is an exquisitely beautiful and deeply affecting exploration of connection and loss in an age of planetary trauma. For as Eve grows to adulthood she and Kate must face the question of who and what she is. Is she natural or artificial? Human or non-human? And perhaps most importantly, as civilization unravels around them, is Eve the ghost species, or are we? James Bradley embeds Ghost Species with his deep and humane understanding of the natural world and a profound optimism, that together we can survive and thrive.
