Book Description
From the author of the bestselling Neanderthal comes this novel of gripping suspense and scientific conquest–a page-turning historical mystery that brilliantly explores the intrigue behind Darwin and his theory of evolution.
It’s 1831, and aboard HMS Beagle the young Charles Darwin sets off down the English Channel for South America. More than 150 years later, two ambitious scholars pursuing their obsession with Darwin (and with each other) come across the diaries and letters of Darwin’s daughter. What they discover is a maze of violent rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, and the extraordinary story of an expedition embarked upon by two men. Only one returned–and changed history forever.

Wear Tinfoil Hats!.......2007-08-14
Warning: Spoiler follows!
On page 127 of the hardcover edition of this peculiar novel, the author sets a scene on the good ship Beagle wherein ship's surgeon McCormick describes Charles Darwin's connection with "the Wedgwoods, to whom he is related both directly and through his wife." Considering the fact that Darwin's travels on the Beagle lasted from 1831 to 1836, and that Darwin and Emma Wedgwood were not married until 29 January 1839, three years AFTER the voyage, one senses the intensity of the author's desire to discredit the giant efforts of Darwin and his contemporaries, history be damned.
The reasoning behind this desire? I've no idea. Suffice it to say that the author strives, and strives mightily, by invention of "source material" to suggest that Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, and all the other great naturalists of their day were trumped in their labors by, well, by the primordial "hippies" of their era.
The novel's author is plainly a newspaper reporter. I can imagine his headlines:
Magic Drug-Smoking Indians Scoop Western Science!
Prove Male Europeans to be Poltroons!
Write US Constitution!
Invent Space Flight!
Fortunately, I borrowed the book from the library. Didn't pay a cent! The read was worth the price.
The evolution of evolutioon........2007-08-07
Darnton has mastered the art of historical fiction, here the voyage of the Beagle and the path Darwin followed towards the theory of evolution. Rooted all too well in historical fact Darnton weaves a web of subterfuge and academic trespassing as the source of much of what Darwin came to be credited for in the development of the theory of evolution. The ability skillfully intertwine both the factual and the fictional without any seams showing is the work of a master storyteller and Darnton shows signs of being just that. the characters - both present day and historical - spring to life in these pages. This is a page turner of the most unexpected sort.
That is not to say the book is without flaws. The tangent of Hugh's -the protagonist - relationship with his brother is not entirely effectual. The serendipity of the convolution of some character backgrounds is a bit stilted. Some of the tensions among the crew and officers on the Beagle is strained.
These are quibbles. All in all a great read that captures one's imagination and doesn't let go.
I've already ordered another couple of Darnton's tomes. What better recommendation is there?
Most Interesting Theories.......2007-05-05
Can't understand why that last reader found the book so boring. I found it very interesting. Darwin's theories have always been the subject for great conversations and heated arguments. I found this a good mingle of fact and fiction - great for sitting around the table with friends and discussing. No, it isn't a love story. No, it isn't high adventure in the sense of car crashes and what not -- but it is adventure in a sense that you feel you connect to the unfolding of events I felt drawn into the mystery of all that is being discovered from several time zones.
A bit of a snoozer.......2007-04-29
I'm finding Darnton a hit-or-miss author. Neanderthal was an interesting premise, but trite characters. Really enjoyed The Experiment. The Darwin Conspiracy had a lot of promise, but turned out to be a very complicated presentation of a very simple and uninteresting mystery. Boring.
An entertaining read.......2007-04-25
John Darton does a clever job of interweaving true details of Darwin's life with fiction. For the most part, Darton smoothly plays between truth and fiction. Since I had just recently read Darwin's autobiography, I was able to identify some of the comments and anecdotes that Darwin had actually written himself. While these anecdotes worked well within the plot, they often jumped out at me because the wording used by Darton was very similar to that used by Darwin himself. For instance, while recounting the story of Darwin collecting three beetles, Darton actually uses the same adjective "acrid" used by Darwin. Nevertheless, through its plot and premise, The Darwin Conspiracy does a good job reminding the reader to not always trust what is down in writing.
The strength of this novel is how the three separate story lines evolve in parallel and finally come together at the end. As Hugh, the main character, proceeds through his different searches, the other stories simultaneously unfold and add new hints to his investigations. The organizational style that Darton uses worked well to incorporate history into fiction. That being said, the most engaging story line was the modern day story with Hugh. Perhaps Darton felt constrained to fit within a historical context. Whatever the reason may have been, Hugh's story hooks the reader in the most.
All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an entertaining read and wants to have that added twist of established facts intermingling with fiction. You will also gain appreciation of Charles Darwin's life and pick up new facts about the scientist. But before you start quoting Darton about Darwin, double check to make sure that your fact really is a fact.

A fun, interesting, and very thought-provoking novel.......2007-08-13
Rumors circulated that one of Charles Darwin's associates, Sir Max Busby, had written a book on the cultural takeover of the theory of evolution, but with time the rumors have been dismissed myth. However, when a copy of Busby's manuscript fall into the hands of successful lawyer and ex-evolutionist James Scott Bell, he soon finds himself on a odyssey filled with murder, deception and intrigue - some of them old and some of them distressingly new. Just what did Busby have to do with the triumph of the theory of evolution, and why is someone out to suppress this book?
Overall, I found this to be a fascinating and entertaining read. James Scott Bell is indeed an ex-evolutionist, and a former trial lawyer who has now turned his talents to his true love - writing. He has won awards for his writing, including the coveted Christy Award. Now, this book is no Da Vinci Code, the author takes far too light-hearted of an approach. Instead, what it is a light-hearted send-up of evolution, a parody of the history of evolution.
I am very glad that this book fell into my hands - it is a fun, interesting, and very thought-provoking novel. If you like a good read, one that punctures the pretensions of your evolutionist high school biology teacher (I don't think mine ever laughed), then get this book. I highly recommend it!
The book, and this review - bucking the trend.......2007-07-21
I find it worth noting that virtually all the reviews of this book give it either one star, or five. Hmmm . . . Any author so imminently capable of polarizing his audience must be doing something right. He may not be correct (Michael Moore comes to mind), but he's certainly not boring.
I found this book entertaining and well-researched. I've been on the edge of the Creation-Evolution debate for the better part of thirty years and found nothing fallacious or contrived in the research. Even though I tend to agree with its premise, however, I must say that I found the book a bit preachy. Bell tends to make everyone wear a hat either completely white or black, and fails to develop any of the characters to more than one thin dimension.
In fairness, though, this was his first book. And, it defies easy classification into any of the normal genres of fiction. Given its subject, tone and intent, the lack of rich character development is not a detriment. Nor do I find it objectionable that he takes a stand on this controversial issue. Surely the intelligent educated reader is not so shallow as to dismiss the book out of hand solely because the author takes a position contrary to his own.
I found the mechanism, that is, the revelation of an old manuscript purporting to tell the "real story" of the "Darwinian Conspiracy," an interesting twist. Bell has used the vehicle of fiction to convey deeper truths, constructing a plausible web of conspiracy to explain the wholesale embrace of a bankrupt theory by much of modern society.
I have met James Scott Bell and found him neither shrill nor stupid. He's been a successful attorney and author of some twenty books, most of then Grishamesque legal thrillers. As with all authors, he gets better as he goes.
The choir to whom you're primarily preaching, Jim, says Amen! Many others won't receive these truths no matter how they're presented. To those in the middle (your primary audience, I suspect), however many of them remain, I pray that the Light will shine from these pages and draw some to the Truth.
PS - I gave the book four stars just to break the pattern.
Do I hear shades of Max Busby in some of the anti-reviews?.......2007-01-14
I have enjoyed other works by James Scott Bell but haven't read this before because some of the negative reviews influenced me.
I am a Christian and have read enough on the evolution theory to think that it takes more faith to believe it than it does to believe in Intelligent Design, but that's not why I decided to post this review. Whatever you believe about evolution, the book is a good read -- unless you have an intense agenda of your own. It was far from "second grade writing" as I think one critic suggested. I would probably classify it as part fantasy, part historical fiction.
I read a lot of mystery/suspense/lawyer novels for enjoyment and relaxation -- which is what this book offered me. Sure the author writes from his own beliefs and, yes, he has an agenda. If you look closely, all books, Christian or non Christian reflect the author's world view, even though not always so obviously (and Bell makes no attempt to pretend he doesn't have a viewpoint on the subject).
I have never had to accept an author's world view to enjoy a good book. Dig further into nonfiction works on evolution if it raises questions for you, but unless you are an anti-creationist fanatic you will enjoy this novel. If you believe firmly in evolution it's not likely it will turn your world upside down.
A real appreciation of fiction........2006-04-28
It is amazing what lengths some readers will go to to criticize an author. Can anyone just read a fictional novel without completely analyzing every detail? I am appalled and insulted by what some reviewers think regarding this book, that a thinking, intelligent person would shy away from this book for good reason. However, wouldn't a truly intelligent person be open minded and appreciate a work of art for what it is regardless of what their PERSONAL RELIGIOUS VIEWS may be. Don't let your religious or non-religous perspective cloud your vision as you read this wild adventurous tale of possibility. The author did a fair amount of research to concoct his tale and it is always interesting to read the possibilities even if they aren't true or support your faith. Take a walk on the wild side as it will only make you more enlightened.
A one-sided diatribe masquerading as fiction.......2005-09-20
I suppose that it is useless for me to criticize this book. Thinking people will shy away from it without my having warned them, while credulous people, especially those with relatively little training in actual Christian doctrine other than having heard a lot of Bible-thumping sermons, will be impressed.
Several reviews state that this is an extremely amusing book. I confess, I didn't so much as crack a smile. I found the writing free of grammatical errors, but otherwise no better than what I'd expect of your average college freshman. I thought the allusions in the early chapters to the Maltese Falcon were cheap and pointless.
The characterizations were shallow. The main character, Max Busby, serves through most of the story as a surrogate for Satan, gradually goading Darwin into accepting a world view that denies God. And why does Max do this? He does it because he's really really really bad, because his father beat him, and he transferred his hatred of his father into hatred of God. The author makes the explicit claim that this is true of all atheists.
Many reviewers have written that this book made them re-think evolutionary theory. I am mystified. Other than implying that evolutionary theory is inspired by the devil, I didn't notice that the book made any cogent argument at all: it mischaracterized Darwinism at every turn and then attacked only the parody rather than the reality of evolutionary theory.
Please avoid this book. It is a complete waste of time.

Book Description
In this riveting new novel, bestselling author John Darnton transports us to Victorian England and around the world to reveal the secrets of a legendary nineteenth-century figure. Darnton elegantly blends the power of fact and the insights of fiction to explore the many mysteries attached to the life and work of Charles Darwin.
What led Darwin to the theory of evolution? Why did he wait twenty-two years to write On the Origin of Species? Why was he incapacitated by mysterious illnesses and frightened of travel? Who was his secret rival? These are some of the questions driving Darnton's richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwin's own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizzie's as she strives to understand the guilt and fear that struck her father at the height of his fame; and that of present-day anthropologist Hugh Kellem and Darwin scholar Beth Dulcimer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover - Lizzie's diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwin's autobiography - is a maze of bitter rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, at the heart of which lies the birth of the theory of evolution.

Hogwash.......2006-01-22
Don't you just love people who can figure out a way to make a lot of bucks by smearing the reputation of someone unable to fight back. I guess authors like that operate on the premise that "the bigger they are, the more bucks that will fall."
Given that Darwin is one of the most highly respected scientists in the history of biology, any one who defames him should be absolutely sure of their facts, and should provide an epilogue to clarify exactly where they strayed beyond known facts into speculation and fiction. Darnton lacks the professionalism to do either. True, he cites several references; but nowhere does he identify which references, if any, document his allegations that Darwin stole the idea of natural selection from natives in Terra del Fuego, and from a fellow biologist -- whom he then murdered.
I suppose Darnton's next book is going to be about how Newton stole the theory of gravity from a tightrope walker or Einstein learned the Theory of Relativity by channeling from space aliens.
Darnton even tries convincing readers that Darwin's health must have failed because of intense guilt. He gives no credence to the possibility that Darwin picked up a tropical disease or parasite -- a fate that has ruined the health of many an explorer, even in modern times. After expeditions into Cambodia, one of my biologist colleagues end up with something like Blackwater feaver, involving massive hemorrhaging of his kidneys-as well as Denge Feaver.
Another guy's expedition to Borneo was yielded a parasite as thick as his little finger that burrowing its way through his body and face until it emerged from his eye socket. Removing the parasite intact was essential; if it broke off in his flesh, it would have rotted in place and killed him. Hence, a month of agony, pulling it out millimeter by millimeter. One can only wonder what little demons Darwin picked up in South America and other exotic locations. Keep in mind that diagnosis 150 yrs ago wasn't quite up to modern standards. Indeed, it is only in the past months that investigators confirmed that Beethoven died of lead poisoning, presumably from drinking wine from leaden or leaded-crystal goblets. One can only wonder whether Darwin's remains were preserved and could be subjected to a modern postmortum.
For now, I've got to place The Darwin Conspiracy on an even lower scale than DaVinci Code regarding historical veracity. Is it a good read, despite its defects - not unless you are titillated by poor scholarship and cheap shots.

blah blah blah.......2007-06-27
This was way to sappy, I couldn't even finish it. It started out to be a good book,and towards the middle it fizzled. blah blah blah. How could anyone give this anything over 3 stars.
Great read.......2007-05-30
This is my first book by Anne Gracie, and I stayed up all night to finish it. It had just the right amount of humor, passion and a very good storyline. If you like historical romances, you'll like this book.
What a hero............2007-05-25
Gideon, Lord Carradice is a wonderful hero. He makes this entire book. Witty, dashing, brave and deeply in love. The heroine was brave and determined and very noble (although that nobility gets a little old as she resists the hero all throughout the middle of the book.) The secondary characters were all great as well (except of course the two villians of the book who were everything despicable in the male of the species!) I had never read anything by Ms. Gracie before, but this will certainly not be the last I read. She has a very fresh "voice" and I really appreciated that our hero and heroine treat each other with love and respect instead of insults and fights, as so many less creative authors seem to think insults, degradation and fights are a way to show "love." I really enjoyed this book and am off now to order some more by this author.
could have used better editing.......2007-01-31
Some parts were fun, but some dragged and there were loose ends (this is where good editing could have helped saved some trees). The heroine was supposed to be smart, but yet was stupid in many ways. The hero was not developed; have no idea why he was attractive to her aside from their physical attraction. The beatings were too sadistic, it went on and on... 'thwacks' and more 'thwacks'...if I wanted horror, I could have watched prime time.
Perils of Prudence.......2006-12-24
Well, to be sure, this book could easily be sub-titled the Perils of Pauline. er, make that Perils of Prudence. It sometimes seems that any event that could possibly happen in a historical novel takes place in The Perfect Rake. But yet, it's not at all overdone. Chapter Thirteen - the encounter with the highwaymen - is worth the cost of the book all by itself. I've not laughed so hard (or so happily) in a long time.
Prudence Merridew is the oldest of five orphaned sisters, consigned to living with their elderly, simgle-minded grandfather. Single-minded in his belief that all women are evil, that is. He certainly isn't anyone's idea of a pleasant old man. Nearing her twenty-first birthday and freedom, Prudence takes her sisters, a maid and a footman, and sets off for a great-uncle in London.
Almost immediately, the fun begins as she creates an imaginary fiancee for herself, and then discovers the supposed hermit she's chosen has come to London for the season. Oh, dear. When she decides to ask his cooperation in her plan - only for a month or so - she instead meets his cousin Gideon, Lord Carradice, who's only too happy to agree with most anything she proposes. Madness and mayhem soon take over everything else in all their lives.
This is a wonderful romp as well as a marvelously well-told story of life and love in the big city during a time when women were not usually regarded as much more than chattel. I fully plan to read it again very soon, but only when I can devote the time to it that it deserves. I put it off for some time, as I knew I'd not be able to put it down once I started it, and I was so right! This one is a real page-turner that will hold you in its spell until the very last page!

Product Description
Victoria Fontaine's mischievous nature and brilliant, biting wit have scandalized the ton . . . and earned her the nickname "Vixen." But her reputation pales before the infamous Lord Althorpe's, known as "Lord Sin." The years Sinclair Grafton spent on the Continent have done nothing to quell the rumors about his past. And when the stunning Vixen and the handsome rogue find themselves momentarily alone at an elegant gala, their passion gets the best of them. Caught by Victoria's father in a shockingly sensual kiss, Sin and Vixen have no recourse except a wedding. At first the very liberal lady relishes the thought of an unfettered marriage to an indifferent, unrepentant scoundrel. But she suspects there is more to this enigmatic, remarkable man, that his rakish persona is merely a pose. And after one unforgettable night of ecstasy, Lady Vixen is determined to unmask the true Sin . . . to satisfy a passionate heart that craves far more than freedom.
