  • "Gal?pagos takes the reader back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Gal?pagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, America?s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry?and all that is worth saving."@en
  • "The narrator, a million year old ghost, remembers the last days of the last people on earth, a disparate collection of tourists and cannibals destined to become ancestors of the new race of men and women of the Galapagos Islands. In this "blistering satire of natural selection", the author combines realism, science fiction fantasy and humour."
