From the Vatican Secret Archives to a space observatory, spies and agents of the Church, governments and the New Atheism Movement engage in a deadly competition to be the first to decode Bruno's long-held secret! PRAISE FOR MARK DAVIS'S DARWIN'S ARROW "Darwin's Arrow is that rarest of all animals - a first-rate thriller that also manages to be a provocative novel of ideas." - Josh Gilder, author of Ghost Image "Darwin's Arrow is hard science fiction with an intensely human touch.
