(“Canter weaves together exciting action, tender relations...)
“Canter weaves together exciting action, tender relationships and plausible science in this thought-provoking thriller.” Kirkus Reviews Aria Rioverde, a professor of ethnomusicology, is rapidly going blind. She is renowned for her performances of Afro-Caribbean music and dance from her home island of Curacao; but how will she continue the career she loves when she can no longer see? Nat Colt is dying. His final goals are to find a mother figure to take care of his 9-year-old daughter, Jazz, and to complete the artificial vision system that he and his late wife devoted their science careers to developing. When Aria arrives at Nat’s lab to protest his use of bonobos in experiments with artificial vision, Nat pins his hopes on using her in his first human trial. At first Aria refuses, but desperate to regain her failing eyesight, she submits to being the subject in a procedure that surgically implants tiny computers in her retinas and brain. The system restores Aria’s eyesight, but unexpectedly her vision continues evolving—becoming superhuman. When she inadvertently spies a black ops intelligence operation hidden deep inside a mountain, the dancer and Nat and his daughter find themselves fleeing a team of killers who will stop at nothing to get at the implants inside Aria’s head.

Anthropologist Yute Nahadeh stumbles upon the scientific discovery of the millenia: a tiny embryo in the womb of a 25,000-year-old Neanderthal, preserved in arctic ice. So begins a secret research. He implants the embryo in a surrogate mother, and a Neanderthal girl is born in our time. Named Ember, she is raised among the Quanoot Indians of Whaler Bay, Washington. Guided by a shaman who has waited for her return, pursued by the man of science who brought her to life, Ember is drawn to a place where no one else can go--where her ancestors, the golden-skinned people of her dreams, wait for her to set them free.

PUBLISHED IN 4 LANGUAGES “A convincing sci-fi thriller... an unexpected, deftly written erotic charge… Canter masterfully allows the scientific exposition to flow naturally in the narrative; like books from Michael Crichton and James Rollins, the story is both informative and exciting… suspense holds until the last page.” Kirkus Reviews In this fast-paced romantic adventure, two American scientists—Mason, a doctor and veteran medic of the Afghan War; and Tree, a research botanist—survive a helicopter crash atop an Amazonian jungle mesa where they discover an exotic Shangri-La. As the former lovers puzzle out the mystery of the ancient city and its all-female society, a strangely beautiful servant girl named Earth-Heaven entangles the pair in an erotic triad that could heal their souls or end their lives.
