The Devolution of Adam and Eve (TIO Book 2): The Extinction of Humanity is Minutes Away

by Mit Sandru

A Pandemic unlike any other seen before infects Humanity. The unknown virus does not kill, but it genetically mutates the Human’s minds to that of Apes. The humankind is on the brink of extinction. The World governments impose a global quarantine, while agencies like WHO, CDC, and NIH, among others, scramble to identify the pathogen and develop an antidote. But the pathogen cannot be identified. It is not like Ebola, SARS, or Covid19, and its origin is unknown. It doesn’t spread through human contact, but through an energy field. What is this virus and where does it come from? The scientists have exhausted all the possibilities. Claire, Prescott, and Travis, the members of the Capuchin Trinity Team, are assigned to use their paranormal ability to identify this mysterious virus. What they discover is beyond belief. This virus has made us smart once, but now it degenerates our brains into that of apes. Is this a natural occurring plague, a man-made virus, or something from another realm? Will the Capuchin Trinity Team find the answer before it’s too late and all humans become apes?

About the author

Mit Sandru was born in the greater area of Transylvania in the last millennium; make that last century since he's not a vampire. Yet. When he was six years old, a soldier shot him at point blank range with a Kalashnikov. He survived. He outsmarted his German teacher, and survived a tornado in the middle of a wheat field. Not concurrently. When he was 18 years old, he escaped from a country resembling a concentration camp, luckily without being killed. He outran mean border patrol dogs in a foreign country, in the darkness of night, while jumping over six-foot tall stonewalls. Superman he’s not. He came to the USA in search of freedom, glory, wealth, and fame. He’s still searching for three of those. Lightning grazed him, and he caught a shark by the tail. Once. A monkey attacked him in Japan, but his daughter saved him. He avoided many rattlesnake bites, and built a house. No relation between the snakes and the house. Life eventually tamed him and he became a responsible citizen, with a wife, two daughters, dog and cat. And lately two grandsons. The taming part is questionable. He acquired an engineering and management degree and attempted to acquire other degrees in music, marketing, and IT. A certified student. He obtained many professional licenses, which he hardly used, but looked good on his wall. At 59-¾ years old he quit the corporate life and a six-figure salary. Rumor has it that he was given the golden handshake. He was finally free to pursue his dreams of writing, painting and music.
During his professional life he painted hundreds of canvases, and composed dozens of tunes, while since his golden handshake he wrote 13 books. And that was in just the first half of his life.

This book is categorized as Paranormal, Dystopian, and Science Fiction, but about halfway through I kept thinking that it had to be a Horror novel because the things that were happening were, indeed, horrific.

This is the second book in the Trinity Investion Organization (TIO) series. Claire, Travis, and Prescott are back from, "The Pregnant Pope," to try to solve another mystery with religious/biblical roots. This time, some type of doomsday plague--no one can determine if it is viral, bacterial, or parasitic--is unleashed on the continent of Africa, and this is where the horror came into the story for me. What happens to the people of Africa is just about the worst thing that can happen so an intelligent species. The horrible part is that they knew what was happening to them, could feel it happening to them, but could do nothing about it.

Claire, Travis, and Prescott parachute into Africa to try to find the pathogen.They use more of their mind-bending paranormal skills, but still are at a loss to explain what happened. They do get some clues, though.

The mystery leads them and their allies to the biblical story of Adam and Eve and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, all the way forward to Moses, Aaron, and the Ark of the Covenant. Once again, the alternate religious history (if you want to call it that) is very interesting and makes a lot of sense. How did we all evolve from Adam and Eve? I don't buy it.

They seem to travel all over the world in search of answers to their questions, until finally ending up in California with the people who set the plague in motion. That's where we learn the whole story--the hows and the whys, and I must say, the people that released the plague reminded me a lot of people in the world today--the rich, the brilliant, the entitled, the people who think they can do anything with no consequences. They made me ill.

Once again, the technology is cool, this time dealing with drones, nanobots, and androids. There's a very cool description of aircraft carriers that are actually in the air, patrolling the skies just like the carriers of today patrol the oceans.

Even though this is the second book in the series, it happens before the events of, "The Pregnant Pope." I don't remember it being mentioned in that book, which is a mistake because of the huge implications of this story, but I already left my review for that book, so whatever.

I again highly recommend this book and this series and can't wait for the next book.

When a new suspected biochemical weapon rapidly begins robbing people of their humanity; stripping whole countries of their ability to think; incapacitating huge swaths without killing or physically harming them. Itt calls for a speedy and thorough investigation. However, the only known suspects are dead. Good thing the Trinity Investigation Organization can still interrogate them. A mystery full of worldwide Governmental alphabet soup agencies and a sinister organization that wants to take the world back to the Garden of Eden.

A slightly slow burn in the beginning. The book takes the time to introduce you to our parapsychological investigation team, which is nice as you’re not lost if you don’t know this book is the second of the Trinity Investigation Organization adventures. I truly did enjoy this book and look forward to more from the author. Also, please note, I received this book in exchange for a review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was very intriguing. To think that a biological agent could cause humanity to devolve is actually quite frightening! The book was very well-written and the characters were very well-developed. Filled with plenty of action, the plot really kept my interest. There were definitely some surprise twists along the journey, which I really loved. I thought the Biblical references were very interesting - the Ark of the Covenant, Aaron's Rod, the Forbidden Fruit, the Tree of Knowledge - definitely a unique twist. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!

Loved the this book

The first part was a little slow but it was necessary to understand the rest of the book. There are 3 people, a doctor and 2 FBI guys who can read minds on the dead as well as the living. This comes in handy getting information. Some people that wants to destroy the people on the planet. If you haven't read this book you should.

Wow and O My God Wow

This man has an imagination and can write! It seemed the paranormal team station kept getting more and more scientifically complicated. The level of specific expert sounding knowledge and skills was mind blowing. My favorite part was the bad guy roasting on a spit. Gross but who thinks up stuff like this? A writer who is now on my favorites list.
