“An ambitious tale loaded with heaping doses of adrenalin, OLD EARTH sweeps the reader away with history, intrigue, espionage, engaging characters, and an intelligent conclusion – all elements of the perfect thriller!" ―Steve Berry, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author, THE LINCOLN MYTHGary Grossman, author of the wildly popular Executive series, returns with a high-octane thriller that digs into the history of the Earth to find the secrets people are willing to kill to keep concealed.In the summer of 1601, Galileo Galilei made a startling discovery in the mountains of Eastern Italy that, if made public, could shatter faith in religion, bring down governments and lead to worldwide turmoil.For more than 400 years the secret has been guarded by a small group of incredibly powerful people, willing to do everything in their power to keep these discoveries from being made. But now, a university dig in Montana headed by paleontologists Quinn McCauley and Katrina Alpert threatens to expose the secret Galileo unearthed, the event that caused him to turn his study to the stars, and the hidden reason the scientist was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition.McCauley and Alpert find themselves in a global game of cat-and-mouse, seeking answers for a mystery that has endured for centuries, hunted for what they might discover.OLD EARTH weighs age-old arguments between science and religion in a tense thriller that spans time and questions recorded history."A high energy combination of history and intrigue, and last but not least, a great book to bring along the next time you travel." ―Peter Greenberg, CBS News Travel Editor"OLD EARTH's richly detailed and unique premise will delight fans of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton." ―CJ Lyons, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. I particularly enjoyed the debates between Professor Quinn McCauley and the group ... By It's About The Book Fascinating story. A little slow in places, but fascinating just the same. I particularly enjoyed the debates between Professor Quinn McCauley and the group of graduate students he had taken with him on the archeological dig in Montana about the age of Earth. Quinn insisted that, even though they were all scientists, they seriously discuss the arguments by the religious advocates of the biblical justifications for Young Earth. That was an engrossing, page turning section of the story.Unfortunately, not everything was that engaging. The “bad guys” protecting the “past” were not well developed, with no compelling reason for them to work so hard and violently to suppress the discoveries. This book has been compared by others to works by Dan Brown and Michael Crichton. I don’t agree. This book, while having some similar characters…don’t they all?…is pretty unique. I would have liked to have seen more of the interesting grad students and a lot less of the old documents about Galileo and his battles with the Catholic Church.Then there is Autem Semita, the self appointed group tasked 400 years earlier with hiding any discoveries that might expose “Old Earth” and her secrets. The hopeful successor to the leadership of the group, Mr. Kavanaugh, is nearly pitiful in his greed for power. There was nothing about this group and these men that indicated any true commitment, just the desire that others never know what they know. I would have liked to have found some little morsel of sympathy, or even interest, in their point of view. I never did. The comparison to the Church’s repression of science was inevitable.Having said all that, I did enjoy this book. It was very nicely written…a great read for anyone who likes a romping good adventure with a conspiracy theory theme. If you’re looking for a romance, you might be disappointed, though.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Intriguing & Thought Provoking By Gina Hott Hott Review:Something about this synopsis pulled me, even though it’s not my typical read. There is nothing light and fun about Old Earth. It’s an intriguing and thought provoking thriller that takes you on a journey through time.I really enjoyed Old Earth but it took me a very long time to read it. This is not a book that can be read quickly or without thought – every conversation, every word has meaning – and, you need to savor every word.My biggest concern before reading this was that the science versus religion argument would offend me. However, I can say that they way in which Mr. Grossman wrote Old Earth presented facts from both sides and characters held strong opinions but that he didn’t write anything that would try to sway a reader to either side, he just used them to tell an amazing story.Book Details:Genre: ThrillerPublished by: Diversion BooksPublication Date: 3/10/2015Number of Pages: 419ISBN: 9781626816336Source: This book came to me from a Partners In Crime Virtual Book Tour, although I am paid to assist in the management of tours I am in no way expected to review books.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Old Earth By Marablaise Galileo Galilei makes in 1601 a discovery in the mountains of eastern Italy that could cause turmoil over the world; that could bring down governments and shatter people's faith in religions.In the present time a group of people on a university dig in Montana headed by paleontologist Quinn McCauley stumbles over a discovery that a secret group of people for over 400 years have done everything to keep a secret and the secret group will do anything to stop the discovery to be revealed. They stopped Galilei and they have stopped everyone else that has been close to discover the secret during the centuries. McCauley and fellow paleontologist Katrina Alpert tries to understand what they have found in the mountains at the same time is running out for them...the group will stop at nothing to keep the secret from getting out.Wow! If I would summarize this book would wow be the right word. I would definitely use the world for the ending. I have a weakness for adventures books with secret societies and wild chases across the world. Hell, books like this is probably the only genre that over the top is a good thing. In an adventure's thriller the story should be over the top, the characters should be thrown into impossible situations and I don't even mind if the main characters get a bit close together in the heat of the moment, well as long as they don't decide to do it in a situation when they should think more about running and not smooching. But in this book they didn't act that stupid and I quite enjoyed McCauley and Alpert working together.This book was fabulous to read and since I have had for years a fascination with dinosaurs was I intrigued by the story from the beginning. But I never imaged that it would be so good, so different from other adventures thrillers I have read and I liked the fact that it wasn't a "religious" hunt, no holy grail or some lost book of Jesus to find. The discovery that Galileo Galilei made was interesting and it was the very discovery that made me in the end give it five stars. It was so fantastic, so mind boggling and it was that kind of discovery that stayed with me after I read the last page. I'm still a bit amazed by it and it has been days since I read the book.
