Arctic Revelation: A Thousand Lifetimes in the Blink of an Eye
With his career and reputation on the line, Dr. Christian Yates refuses to abandon his controversial theory that human DNA contains an infinite repository of ancestral memories.
But, Christian may get more than he bargained for as his mission garners the attention of a notorious serial killer and a ruthless pharmaceutical CEO seeking the same knowledge.
What if every human on the planet carries a dark secret in their DNA?
What if memories could be passed to the next generation with the ease of physical traits such as eye or hair color?
How can an entire lifetime of memories flash before a person's eyes in just a split second during a near death experience?
Dr. Christian Yates risks everything to answer these questions and many more as the memories of his murdered father and the patient he couldn't save haunt him.
Accompany Chistian through the exotic landscapes of Denmark, Greenland, and Switzerland as he pursues the truth with a deranged serial killer hot on his heels.
The parting gift is a mind-boggling 'whodunit' conclusion that has kept even the most discriminating critics glued and guessing right to the end.
Dr. Finch narrates with a humble authenticity, forged in the flames of a traumatic childhood and honed by his years as an Assistant Dean and Professor.
Eternally grateful for the support that saved him after a rough start in life, Dr. Finch is committed to paying it forward. A majority of all royalties from 'Arctic Revelation' are donated to supporting mental health awareness, including causes like the opioid crisis and veterans with PTSD—just a few of the many themes deeply woven into the fabric of this groundbreaking thriller.
Set against the contrasting backdrops of a tranquil Rhode Island university and the mystical landscapes of Denmark, Greenland, and Switzerland, the novel takes the reader on an exhilarating chase for the truth. Christian's quest leads him to Greenland's icy terrains, in search of an ancient psychotropic elixir lost in the vast seas of time. This elixir is not just a key to healing Christian's psyche but also a gateway to unlocking primal human memories, presenting him with a life-altering choice.
Finch's novel is praised for its unique blend of speculative science and murder mystery, touching upon themes like psychedelic-assisted therapy, Danish culture, the opioid crisis, life in academia, repressed trauma, the plight of Indigenous peoples, and the pressing issue of climate change. The early chapters set the stage for Christian's background, alternating between his present-day struggles and past encounters, including the traumatic incident that leads to a patient's murder, for which Christian is initially blamed.
As Christian delves deeper into his research on ancestral memories, the plot thickens with international intrigue, involving a Danish pharmaceutical company with dubious intentions and a series of disguises and deceptions by various characters, including The Surgeon. The narrative builds to a climactic revelation culminating in a shocking 'whodunit' conclusion that has kept even the most seasoned readers captivated and guessing right till the end.

Astounding, unbelievable and extraordinary!!!
This is one book that held my total attention from the word Go as I am a geneticist practicing medical genetics all my work life. It covers various aspects of science - DNA matters pertaining to generations of.human beings, traversing through DNA memories.
This book explores the concept of being able to travel through DNA memories, go back to as many generations as possible and contextualize the travel in terms of progress of generations of human beings. This is being tried to achieve through a mixture of ingredients that have been discovered through meticulous and painstaking research into old manuscripts and available old literature.
To learn how this is achieved, to know what the experiences of the protagonist Dr. Christian Yates are, the book has to be read!!
All in all, a magnificent book! Thank you, Dr. Finch!!!

Wow
Its a lovely story of what happens with people who have too much money. A man crazy with the need to know the memories of his past. Willing to kill those who's brain shows the ability to do so. Hide who he is with rather fancy makeup. Once you are able to check the memories locked in your DNA, things get strange. I am looking forward to i hope will be the next book.

Revelation Indeed
This was truly amazing for our debut novel. Awesome plot, intriguing characters and a great sense of both drama and humour imbuing at all.
Well done, Hugh, when's the next one due?

Sorry to say, I dragged myself through the story. Just not to my taste, not enough dialogues, no building of tension, plot twists etc, and the plot did not really interest me.
Pity, from the description I thought I might like it.
