Reviews
Monier’s greatest strength is his ability to write characters who remain sympathetic even as they show the reader the worst aspects of themselves. Although Omar and Shadia are both skilled in different areas—Shadia has useful medical knowledge, for example—neither of them are superhuman; they’re just regular people in an unusual and terrible situation, and the way that their relationship develops feels organic.
Neanderthals is a really exhilarating thriller of sci-fi that keeps you on your toes.
When Omar and Shadia are transported to another world where they must fight for survival as they are being mercilessly hunted. The plot of Neanderthals really keeps your heart-racing and the characters are relatable and well-written. While I'm not big on sci-fi, I really enjoyed this book.

WOULD FREEDOM TRULY
COME LAST?
Would freedom truly come last? Prisoners usually shouted for freedom at first, but after a period of despair, they asked for improved conditions. If their present conditions worsened, they longed to go back to the previous conditions that were initially unsatisfactory. Was that our case on the island? Was it the purpose of the experiment? To explore humans’ ability to endure and accept the unacceptable if the price was their basic safety?
