Apocalipsa după Charles

A lost page from Darwin’s notes holds a secret. It concerns the fate of the human race. In Igor Bergler’s novel, it puts Darwin’s last descendant at risk. This thriller blends a search for hidden knowledge with history. It also draws on philosophy, the study of ideas and beliefs. It suits readers who like mysteries about science and faith.

The story goes back some 150 years to Darwin’s work. His theory of evolution challenged the beliefs of his day. But the novel gives him a further find in the Amazon jungle. Darwin fears this truth could harm society, so he hides it. Before he dies, he leaves his findings to an heir born outside marriage.

Generations pass before Charlie D. learns of this hidden legacy. His search brings murders, plots and acts of betrayal. A secret group hunts him to keep the truth hidden. Charlie must learn what Darwin found and what it means. He must judge if today’s world can face the end Darwin foresaw.

Bergler uses this mystery to ask where humans came from. The story also asks what lies ahead for our species. Cubul lui Metatron carries on the story.
