Description
Gary Grossman, author of the wildly popular Executive series, returns with a high-octane thriller that digs into the history of the Earth to find the secrets people are willing to kill to keep concealed.
In the summer of 1601, Galileo Galilei made a startling discovery in the mountains of Eastern Italy that, if made public, could shatter faith in religion, bring down governments and lead to worldwide turmoil.
For more than 400 years the secret has been guarded by a small group of incredibly powerful people, willing to do everything in their power to keep these discoveries from being made. But now, a university dig in Montana headed by paleontologists Quinn McCauley and Katrina Alpert threatens to expose the secret Galileo unearthed, the event that caused him to turn his study to the stars, and the hidden reason the scientist was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition.
McCauley and Alpert find themselves in a global game of cat-and-mouse, seeking answers for a mystery that has endured for centuries, hunted for what they might discover.
OLD EARTH weighs age-old arguments between science and religion in a tense thriller that spans time and questions recorded history.

Truly a mind boggling adventure! If you love thrillers.. 'Old Earth' by Gary Grossman is a MUST READ in 2015!
If you love adventure, dinosaur digs, and Vatican mysteries, secret organization, and Galileo! This book is for you! 'Old Earth' by Gary Grossman was very well written. I have never read the author before and was pleasantly surprised to find a new gem! The storyline is very believable. The characters are extremely well-developed and you come to root for the good guys and hope that the bad guys get what they have coming to them.
One follows along waiting to find out exactly what it is that the Professor and his seven students have unearthed while out digging for dinosaurs in Montana. An undiscovered cave with petroglyphs that leads them further and further down the path.. until they come upon something so surreal that they cannot grasp what they've found. But, unfortunately.. there is an age old group tasked with ensuring that the world will never hear of the find.
