Cough, cough -- my book about Darwin

Today is Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. He's always been a profoundly important figure to me (I visited his home, Down House, in 1995).

My third novel, Fossil Hunter, was my parable about Darwin, telling the story of his counterpart on an alien world, including a riff on his classic voyage aboard the Beagle.

"I'd seriously recommend Fossil Hunter as better than any high school biology text I've seen on classic Darwinian evolution." --Paul Levinson in The New York Review of Science Fiction
