Writing Robert J. Sawyer's "The Neanderthal Parallax"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

[i]The Neanderthat Parallax[/i] is the latest trilogy by Robert J. Sawyer. If you've read any of his other books, then you know what to expect: A great story, controversial topics, thought-provoking discussions, and a ton of actual scientific research and evidence. Everything Sawyer writes about, wether it be time travel, immortallity, parallel universes, or anything else, is based on actual scientific research. it's just incredible.

Saywer' latest is about a parallel universe where Neanderthals became the dominant species. They accidentally open a portal to our universe. From this launching point, Sawyer takes on magnetic field collapses, religion, agriculture, the Big Bang theroy, cross-species reproduction, hormones, and much, much more. The story's also very good, but it's the issues that move this trilogy, as with Sawyer's other books. I find it simply amazing how Sawyer can fit so much into a story, and do it all based on actual science. I don't know how he does it.
