Synopsis
In this historical thriller, New York Times reporter John Darnton provides a unique (but entirely fictional) solution to the mystery of why Charles Darwin waited 22 years after he developed the theory of evolution to publish THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES. The novel traces three storylines: Darwin's groundbreaking expedition on The Beagle, a journal by his daughter Elizabeth written some years later, chronicling her concerns about her father's odd behavior after that expedition, and a contemporary pair of scientists also seeking the real origin of THE ORIGIN, so to speak.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he revelation of the 'true' origin of the theory of evolution is particularly inspired and more than enough to sustain another Darntonian bestseller."
Publishers Weekly (07/18/2005)
"...Darnton has a good feel for both the Victorian era and the modern scientific milieu."
New Yorker (12/05/2005)
