Entangled by Graham Hancock
1.0
Quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read.
The premise of the story sucked me in - Two female protags, living in both alternate and parallel timelines. One is living in modern day LA/SoCal, the other is living 24,000 years ago in Spain (she's cro-magnon).
If anything, the author has no idea how experimental science, nevermind human experimental science, IBCs, or IRBs function and UC-Davis should sue him on those grounds alone.
The premise of the story came to the author in a drug (Ayahuasca) filled hallucination, so that should let you know that it's weird, but it was over the top violence (far more than the story really needed, says someone who reads a lot of violent novels) and has the most ridiculous protags ever. The man clearly has no idea how to write believable women (even if one is prehistorical).
The modern day protag does DMT and Ayahuasca while fighting her parents, in an effort to cross timelines to appear in the past to help her counterpart... and she's also fighting SouthAmerican boogeyman... In the meantime, the prehistorical one is fighting an evil guy named Sulpa who is trying to kill all of the magical Neanderthals in one last big bang to get enough power to exist outside of time.
This was to be the first of three books (yes, another trilogy, because no author can not-write a trilogy these days), so it ends on a cliffhanger. Most of what I've read (mostly from the author himself) indicates that the book sold badly and the publication of a sequel isn't likely (not that I'd read it anyway).
