When the Benadem, benevolent space gods, return to Kepler, a planet where homosapiens went extinct and all other hominid species thrived, their arrival threatens to plunge the world into chaos. West, a 16-year-old Neanderthal girl, is thrust into the conflict and her efforts-unique because of her mixed hominid heritage-not only change her life, but also reveal the merciless ambition and identity of the gods themselves.

o In the tradition of such canonical sci-fi classics as Planet of the Apes!
