The Pleistocene Redemption,
Dan Gallagher. Geneticist Kevin G. Harrigan learns more about
human nature and destiny than he wanted! He redeems fossil
genetic material to regenerate fantastic animals, including
human sub-species, which became extinct over the last several
hundred thousand years. "At the dawn of
humanity, a whisper was heard amidst the din of fantastic
beasts. Soon, the voice and the beasts will be heard again.
But will this herald a new dawn ... or the sunset of
humankind?"

Dan was born
in Providence, RI in 1959, and his mother always told people
“He’s a… good boy.” Dan
graduated from Virginia Military Institute where he completed
the modern languages and the economics curricula. A former
Ranger-trained mechanized infantry officer, Dan was noted for
his force deployment and training organization skills. He received his
Masters Degree in Business Administration from William and Mary,
even though they were long-dead by then. He has been an
award-winning registered securities principal, a Chartered Life
Underwriter, Chartered Financial Consultant, and Certified
Financial Planner. Although
educated well beyond his level of intelligence, he refuses to
work for the government. Dan’s
other interests, all of which contributed to his novel, include
biology, paleontology, archaeology, and comparative religion. A bowhunter and
outdoorsman, Dan tries not to get lost in the woods or step in
anything unpleasant. His
truck has huge tires, but he prefers his rucksack and boots. He resides with his
wife and their four children somewhere in the South (he’s still
doing a map check to find his exact location).
Comments of others about The Pleistocene Redemption
Comments on The Pleistocene Redemption (by category: Literary, Scientific, Spiritual)
"...Few science fiction writers also possess sufficient expertise in the religious and ethical fields to provide the balance necessary for a thoroughly compelling narrative. Dan Gallagher is an exception. ...The Pleistocene Redemption’s climax, containing one of the finest action sequences in recent fiction, approaches apocalyptic dimensions.... While Michael Crichton’s Jurassic stories were interesting..., Gallagher ups the ante dramatically and intellectually. His spiritual and ethical probing of characters and situations is also relentless as the escalating peril... reaches catastrophic dimensions. ...An extraordinary work...."
Richard J. Woods, O.P., author of Mysticism and Prophecy, The Devil, and fiction works.
“… Intense … harrowing … will grip the reader from the first page to the last. … Another of those science fiction masterpieces … so hard to put down.”
Midwest Book Reviews (Cox)
“Gallagher goes into intense detail of every aspect of this world he has created. So much so that not only does the reader feel like a nightmare that won't stop has been recreated ... so vivid that reading becomes a scary, yet thrilling adventure in exploring our own roots ... profound … a wonderful job of connecting philosophy and the humanities with science … surprising … intense … sobering … .”
Bookwatch (Glodowski)

“... Exciting ... intellectual ... . This novel offers something for almost everyone. Whether readers are primarily interested in Science Fiction, adventure, prehistoric speculations or ethics, The Pleistocene Redemption promises to interest an extremely wide audiance. It will upset many readers, but will undoubtedly cause many others to examine their own beliefs. ... Move over, Michael Crichton, a powerful new force has arrived!”

“… Hard to put down … . Hauntingly close to real possibilities … terrifying. I truly enjoyed the action, excitement, politics, human drama, all mixed with enough science to make me think that perhaps this could really happen.”
“The Pleistocene Redemption takes a giant leap beyond Jurassic Park! Its foundation in real technology and biology enables the reader to hurtle into this very enjoyable and intriguing fiction.”
"...A crackerjack adventure chock full of derring-do, with a grand bonus for the paleontologist. ... Vast ... innovative ... far more ambitious [than] the Jurassic Park novels ... global in complexity ... - and what a cast! ... A work of great philosophic complexity ... quite readable ... first class science fiction ... ingenious ... compelling ...."
“This is not a story to put down, but you may wish it to last forever. A thrilling tale with a fine blend of adventure, politics, religion, and science. More scientifically plausible and better written than any other book I have read on regenerating extinct species.”

Spiritual (Other Categories: Literary and Scientific)
“With skill, wit and humor, Gallagher deftly propels readers. This fun and pleasurable tale is hauntingly profound. Accelerating powerfully within natural and supernatural realms, it enthralls, consoles and terrifies. This important thriller melds biotechnology, espionage, spiritual challenge, prehistoric adventure and more. A compelling and meaningful experience, The Pleistocene Redemption joins the ranks of Shelley's Frankenstein, Huxley's Brave New World and Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz.”
“… Intellectual … timely … wonderful humor, and a most entertaining story … . A gripping science fiction … . Research, plot & character development, and intrigue are extraordinary … . In refreshing opposition to the chaos-deterministic theme of Jurassic Park and the neopaganism of The Celestine Prophecy; … I had a difficult time setting this fine work down and heartily commend it to the thoughtful reader.”
“In The Pleistocene Redemption, author Dan Gallagher has given us ... this visionary ... spine-chilling and compelling work [and has] also given it the ingredient that separates the good books from the great books. The Pleistocene Redemption gets you to think! ... If you've been looking for a book that is provocative and controversial, look no further.”
“The Pleistocene Redemption is science fiction with a soul. ... Intriguing and insightful .... Controversial? Perhaps. Riveting? Definitely!”
“Science fiction, anthropology, religion and thriller for fans of Jurassic Park and the human spirit.”
“… Thrilling new insight … . Not only is the style of writing riveting, but the scientific and ethical infrastructure of this remarkable work is faultless. A brave new voice is heard … .”
