  In The Chronicles of Ivy Carter series

  HUMAN

  How do you define humanity, when evolution gives you more than one choice?

  Archaeologist Ivy Carter is no stranger to losing the people she loves.

  With the exception of Kyah, an ex- lab chimp at her university, Ivy holds everybody at arm’s length, even Orrin James, the brilliant young physicist falling for her.

  But when Ivy is stolen 50,000 years back in time to save a dying species of human from extinction, she must battle her demons, inside and out, to prevent a war that could change the course of human evolution forever.

  In a thrilling adventure that flips between modern world catastrophe and primitive survival, Ivy Carter holds the fate of humankind in her hands.

  EXTINCT

  What would you change with the time you are given?

  In the stunning sequel to HUMAN, modern-day archaeologist Ivy Carter begins a perilous journey across prehistoric Indonesia, at a time when volcanic eruptions, mass extinction and a genocidal war are tearing it apart.

  Her own heart is just as torn. Trapped fifty thousand years in the past, Ivy has been tasked with the greatest challenge of her life; to ensure the survival of a dying species of primitive human against overwhelming odds. Despite her determination to save the people she loves, she is desperate to find a way back to her own time and the life, and man, she left behind. But each move she makes in the past, puts future Earth in danger.

  As astrophysicist Orrin James battles against betrayal and spiraling destruction in the modern world to bring Ivy back, he comes to realise something that Ivy does not…

  Somebody else was sent back in time with her, and she is in far greater danger than she knows.
