🔥 Ready to uncover the truth behind the legend?
Dive into this gripping scientific thriller today.
A legendary creature is about to be discovered... and someone will kill to control it.
​
Bestselling author R.D. Brady delivers a pulse-pounding scientific thriller that dares to ask the question we've all secretly wondered: What if Bigfoot was real?
​
For centuries, whispers of a giant, elusive creature roaming the Pacific Northwest have fueled myth and speculation. But despite the stories, no one has ever found definitive proof—until now.
​
Dr. Tess Brannick, an expert in anatomy and physiology with a deep connection to the wilderness, has dedicated her life to uncovering the truth. One year into her research in Northern California, she stands on the brink of a world-changing discovery. But the deeper she digs, the more she begins to fear not the creature she’s tracking—but the man funding her expedition.
​
Carter Hayes, a powerful tech CEO with a dark obsession, has spent a lifetime dreaming of making this discovery his own. For him, it’s not about science—it’s about legacy. And he’ll do anything to claim it.
​
Because some secrets should never be revealed.
And some discoveries come with a deadly price.
​
If you enjoy the thrilling science of James Rollins, the high-octane adventures of Clive Cussler, or the gripping mysteries of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, you’ll be instantly hooked by Hominid—a non-stop ride through danger, discovery, and the deadly consequences of ambition.
