A penetrating page-turner by a new writer with an awesome command of the issues and dangers facing humanity in the 21st century.

I am a big Tom Clancy fan and love thrillers. Lewis has created a masterpiece here. It is amazing to think that it is a first foray into thrillers for the author. I found this book a compulsive page-turner that drew me in deeper and deeper. A must for your book shelf, ipad or reader!

I had the privilege of reading a pre-release first draft of Hominine. At about the halfway point, I noted that it felt like a master work the caliber of Grisham, Clancy and Brown. This is clearly no entry level work, but the craft of a masterful storyteller. In retrospect, the Hominine Project represents the Sword of Damocles for the information age.

Hominine weaves a tale of intrigue and espionage tightly coupled with political greed and a global power grab. Like any good power struggle, the roots of the story lead us back to an effort to better mankind through noble efforts. Purpose coupled with power tends to corrupt. In the world today, political corruption frequently lead to weapons of aggression, and Evans surpasses our worst fears, turning an effort to better mankind into a possibly indefensible weapon.

Yet, Hominine goes far beyond simple entertainment. It provides clarity and a path for mankind that can alter our course and lead us all to a path of understanding that will alter even outcomes already set in motion. It should be required reading for anyone in politics, technology and business who's looking for new ideas in doing something extraordinary.

A lively and thoughtful excursion into the hypersensitive nerve center of modern human destiny. Articulately narrated and well researched, Hominine skillfully combines minute factual detail, the precarious balance of human strengths and frailties, and  philosophical contemplation of global proportions. A thumping good read that actually makes you think.

Is this really a novel? A very timely book with a plot so plausible yet so scarily close to the bone that you pray it’s not real. Hominine is a masterful mix of political spin, human frailty, high-tech corruption and love on the rocks.

From the White House to the Somali desert, from Bali to Afghanistan, its characters are by turns dysfunctional, bumbling, gut-wrenchingly naive and refreshingly sane.

A compelling read and an exceptional debut that leaves you hungry for more ...and hoping that the world takes note.

The book is quite amazing...! The factual accuracy itself in so many disparate settings makes for a compelling and fascinating read. There is also a depth of maturity here, almost as if you lived your whole life to pour everything you've learned into this tour de force.

Lewis has penned a story that sounds more like fact than fiction...Leads one the think that anything is possible, that there really are not controls or borders for the people that run our affairs ‘for us’. The parts are well connected...characters distinctive. Well done!

With or without any assistance from anyone, I believe your book will be a great success. The book covers so many foreign relations and international issues and circumstances that are occurring now.

The interpersonal relationships, particularly between Larry and Griffin and Griffin and Sheryl reflect the lives of so many people their age who finally come to terms with who they really are and what they have really been.

As I was reading, it was clear that you had done a lot of research or you have led a really exciting life because of the vivid descriptions of the geography, culture, and customs in Afghanistan, and the intricate discussions of the Zoroastrians which I found fascinating.

Hominine is an interesting and timely piece of work - Zeitgeist meets Dan Brown meets 24. Modern geopolitics and terrorism as seen through the eyes of an aging, disillusioned hippie who's now very much a part of the establishment he once railed against.

It is a tale about deadly next-gen weapon technology developed through 'new age' discoveries - but implemented without the corresponding 'new age' wisdom. It's Einstein, Oppenheimer & the Atomic bomb all over again.

Can mankind's 'higher awakening' empower them to exist beyond the confines of modern consumerism - before the powers [both governmental and corporate] behind the status quo eliminate critical thought and the dissent it leads to?

A great novel illustrates our personal connections to questions of humanity and Hominine, a new novel by Lewis Evans, is therefore fittingly titled. Hominine poses essential questions we all face, weaving them from beginning to end through a nail-biting thriller that takes you around the world, across cultures and through the eyes of intimate lives.

This novel challenges our accepted wisdoms head-on, and Lewis’s style of writing forges a connection with the reader that will alter lives and have an effect on generations to come. His richly developed characters and narrative make for a work of art.

Every character in Hominine has subtle gestures that convey the the author's knowledge and  understanding of politics but also a clear familiarity with the most mundane situations. Lewis Evans is a true renaissance man and writer of the human condition.

Your book is so spot on and moves further away from fiction with each passing day’s headlines.

Paul Biedermann

Hominine is a great modern day thriller that brings you on a page turning roller coaster, with occasional philosophical interludes which make you ponder on where we are going as the human race. This fast-slow-fast pace is a very appealing characteristic of the book. It weaves together several plots, leaving subtle clues as to how they might come together in end, but keeps you guessing all the way. I got as much kick of reading this book as I would from other masters of the art - Lee Child, Kathy Reichs, Stieg Larsson. Looking forward to the next one Lewis!
