Link by Walt Becker, 1998 First Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket, Paleoanthropology Sci-Fi Thriller

Unearth a high-stakes adventure where ancient anthropology collides with heart-pounding suspense in this 1998 first edition hardcover of Link by Walt Becker. When paleoanthropologist Samantha Colby excavates an astonishing hominid skeleton in the rugged heart of Central Africa, she believes she has discovered the definitive "missing link" between ape and human ancestry. Instead, the ancient bones shatter accepted evolutionary history and point toward an origin far more terrifying and unimaginable than modern science ever dared consider. Joined by colleague Jack Austin, Colby finds herself in a desperate, danger-fueled race against time and clandestine forces determined to keep human origins buried forever. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and speculative scientific thrillers. ✨ Key Features • Title: Link • Author: Walt Becker • Format: Hardcover with original dust jacket • Edition: First Edition / First Printing (1998) • Publisher: William Morrow & Company, New York • Genre: Speculative Fiction / Sci-Fi Thriller / Action & Adventure 📖 Condition & Grading Overall: Very Good condition throughout—a solid, highly readable collectible copy. • Exterior: Hardcover boards and spine are firm with only mild, honest shelf handling. • Dust Jacket: Very Good condition, retaining strong color and gloss with minimal edge and corner wear.
