About the book: Evolution never stops. The genetic clock is always ticking. On the planet Ditarin, Humans are splitting into two separate species and only a handful of people are aware of this. As the Humans on this world come to face this reality, the planet, which has hosted their ancestors for thirty-six thousand years, has spawned its own indigenous, intelligent species. The Pondering, the first novel in the series A New Man, introduces you the this exotic, changing world and its wide cast of diverse characters and unlikely heroes. Using many familiar elements, Richard Mills has masterfully painted a world rich in characters, settings, action and adventure unique in modern literature. THIS IS NOT A STORY FOR CHILDREN.
