The Ancestral Code series by R.D. Brady digs into questions about human origins and what our DNA might be hiding. The first book, Hominid, was published in 2015 and introduces a mystery rooted in paleogenetics and the secrets buried in our evolutionary history.
After a long gap, the series returned with Genus in 2026. The two books together form a contained story that blends science fiction with thriller pacing. Readers who like their suspense novels grounded in real science, especially genetics and anthropology, will find a lot to enjoy here.
