Accepting a rollback--an experimental rejuvenation procedure--for herself and her husband in exchange for deciphering a message from aliens, Dr. Sarah Halifax is faced with a dilemma when the procedure works on her husband, but not on her.

The president of the United States is shot in the head by a would-be assassin. Rushed to hospital and barely saved from death, he discovers that he has new memories - memories that are not his own. A scientific experiment has gone awry, and a small group of people now remember each other's lives. And when one of those people's lives involved access to the most secret and dangerous information in the world, everything will change.

In the Hugo Award–winning Hominids, Neanderthal quantum physicist Ponter Boddit fell through an interdimensional portal into our version of reality. In this Hugo-nominated sequel, Ponter ― a character you’ll never forget ― returns to our world and his growing relationship with geneticist Mary Vaughan, exploring our society with his penetrating, alien gaze. “Sawyer takes on guns, religious assumptions, automobiles, and even the Big Bang in this highly entertaining tale of a (more or less) rational Outsider. The chapter at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial should be required reading for anyone who wishes to sit in the Oval Office.” ― Jack McDevitt on Humans “The most unusual love story you’ve ever read.” ― Rocky Mountain News on Humans “The biggest job of science fiction is to portray the Other. To help us imagine the strange and see the familiar in eerie new ways. Nobody explores this territory more boldly than Robert J. Sawyer.” ― David Brin on Humans “Hominids is anthropological fiction at its best.” ― W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear, USA Today bestselling authors of People of the Thunder “Hominids belongs on the same shelf as Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land.” ― Starlog

Hominids examines two unique species of people. We are one of those species; the other is the Neanderthals of a parallel world where they become the dominant intelligence. The Neanderthal civilization has reached heights of culture and science comparable to our own, but with radically different history, society, and philosophy. Ponter Boddit, a Neanderthal physicist, accidentally pierces the barrier between the worlds and is transferred to our universe. Almost immediately recognized as a Neanderthal, but only much later as a scientist, he is quarantined and studied, alone and bewildered, a stranger in a strange land. But Ponter is also befriended ― by a doctor and a physicist who share his questing intelligence, and especially by Canadian geneticist Mary Vaughan, a woman with whom he develops a special rapport. Ponter’s partner, Adikor Huld, finds himself with a messy lab, a missing body, suspicious people all around and an explosive murder trial. How can he possibly prove his innocence when he has no idea what actually happened to Ponter? “A rapidly plotted, anthropologically saturated speculative novel…[with] Sawyer-signature wide appeal.” –The Globe & Mail

In a parallel world in which Neanderthals, rather than homo sapiens, became the dominant intelligent species, a dangerous scientific experiment traps a Neanderthal physicist on Earth.
