Mud Man

When anthropologist Veronica Booth is called to consult on a dig in northern British Columbia, she expects to discover the usual remnants of early indigenous life. She never imagined finding a man preserved a metre deep in a thawing bog. More shocking still-he's alive, albeit barely. The mud man, as Veronica initially thinks of him, matches no missing person reports, and his DNA is like nothing on record. Radio-carbon dating of his clothes and items found with him suggest an impossible age of 9,500 years! As he slowly recovers, the mysterious man reveals a host of surprises, stunning Veronica and those growing close to him. But can a man who lived a millennia ago adapt to life in the modern world?"e;One of the most unique, emotional, engrossing novels I've read to date. Be prepared to gasp, laugh, and cry."e; - Lily Luchesi, USA Today bestselling author of The Coven Series?"e;The Mud Man is in itself an unusual title and that gave me the right feelings to begin reading. The context was different, so very different that I read it straight through from cover to cover, totally immersed in it. I will not write anything about the story as it needs to be read to be fully appreciated. It is a stunning tale the likes of which you've never read before."e; - John Irvine, New Zealand poet and author of Blood Curry and Man of Stone
