As a fan of the History Channel program, “Ancient Aliens,” I immediately recognized what the author was up to from this novel’s otherwise enigmatic cover.  For those of you who may be uninitiated, it relates to theories that our origins as a species on Earth actual hail from extraterrestrials who visited this planet in the distant past.  (Of course, if you’re religious and give the credit to God you need to admit that by definition God actually is an extraterrestrial.)The author has a strong, entertaining narrative style that keeps you turning the pages.  He’s bitten off a lot of speculative history and it’s comforting to know that this is but the first of an untold number of stories he intends to write on the same subject.I thought the romance element was a little on the sappy side but since the author is Italian it’s forgivable.  I would have liked more detailed descriptions of the various exotic locations and aliens but it did flow as if Jack were sitting there in my living room telling me the story.  The main characters got somewhat lost in favor of Enlil, Enki, Anu and the Annunaki in general, but it was quite entertaining to read his interpretation of these infamous mythological (?) figures and speculate on whether their origin might indeed be buried somewhere in ancient truth.
