A Novel of First Contact

ARCHAEOLOGIST ANNA LEWIS extracts coded messages from a pre-Columbian sculpture, disclosing that Earth is the failed colony of an ancient galactic race. Failed colony? Humanity will not be amused.Here's the futuristic intrigue of “Snow Crash” mixed with the suspense and high stakes of “Blade Runner.” This is the magic Lee Baldwin works in his latest novel, Savage Genesis Book One – Rescue and Asylum. Intrigue and danger with a strong woman at the center.Anna rides a buried wormhole to the other side of the galaxy, struggling to understand she's been conscripted into an interplanetary rescue project by humanity's cousins. She and two million captive women are bound for alien assimilation.Feisty, contradictory Anna will not simply accept what she is told. But the knowledge from those ancient beings is so overwhelming she doubts that the societies of Earth will hear what she must tell them. If she keeps quiet, humanity will miss out on life-affirming knowledge. But if she shares what she has discovered, there are men who would gladly see her die. Along with the rest of Earth.

An intriguing and dangerous tale of alien contact: We go to their place.

Powerfully intimate and inventive - imagination blazes through the pages of this novel which unveils an alien world that's peaceful on the surface yet which masks a savage past. THESIS OF THE NOVELANNA SUSPECTS THAT LIFE ON EARTH developed through underground microbes, because these hardy and secluded critters were best able to survive harsh conditions such as vulcanism, tectonic shifts, and meteorite bombardments.Anna knows that intelligent life could have appeared in our galaxy 13 billion years ago, long before Earth’s formation. Could such a species have visited an infant Earth? Could they have planted microbes in the deepest rocks with designer DNA to evolve Earth life into beings like them? Could humanity therefore be the cousins of those aliens who visited Earth in the distant past?If that is true, then where is that species today? Could they have progressed from biological life as we know it into a post-biological existence with cybernetic and mechanical parts that are grown, not assembled? What Early Readers are Saying:"Well-crafted and gripping. Excellent... absolutely hooked me...a brilliantly twisted mind which produced a true gem of a book." - K.Damas, Goodreads Reviewer"Baldwin's prose is punchy and laced with wit, especially in the edgy banter between feisty Anna and antagonists Gonzalo Sandoval and Carl Mumford...language is streamlined... characters hit all of the right notes: Anna is appealingly feisty in her interactions with her male colleagues and appropriately wary of the professed beneficence of the Cuz of Thiele. - Booklife LLC and PWxyz LLC"...sketches a far future for humanity, a post-biological era of combined cybernetics and biology in a manner that is completely plausible." - Betty, Amazon Reviewer"The writing is delicious and fast-paced... women's fiction, because the plot turns on the values of two lifelong friends at the mercy of the patriarchy... the 'alien' species has defeated its own version of patriarchal rule, which is a sign of hope." - Sherri Z, Amazon Reviewer
