In the summer of 1601, Galileo Galilei made a startling discovery in the mountains of Eastern Italy that, if made public, could shatter faith in religion, bring down governments and lead to worldwide turmoil. For more than 400 years the secret has been guarded by a small group of incredibly powerful people, willing to do everything in their power to keep these discoveries from being made. But now, a university dig in Montana headed by paleontologists Quinn McCauley and Katrina Alpert threatens to expose the secret Galileo unearthed, the event that caused him to turn his study to the stars, and the hidden reason the scientist was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition. McCauley and Alpert find themselves in a global game of cat-and-mouse, seeking answers for a mystery that has endured for centuries, hunted for what they might discover. OLD EARTH weighs age-old arguments between science and religion in a tense thriller that spans time and questions recorded history. \"A high energy combination of history and intrigue, and last but not least, a great book to bring along the next time you travel.\" --Peter Greenberg, CBS News Travel Editor \"OLD EARTH's richly detailed and unique premise will delight fans of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton.\" --CJ Lyons, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGARY GROSSMAN\u003c\/b\u003e's first novel, \u003ci\u003eEXECUTIVE ACTIONS\u003c\/i\u003e, quickly propelled him into the world of geo-political thrillers. \u003ci\u003eEXECUTIVE TREASON\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEXECUTIVE COMMAND\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEXECUTIVE FORCE\u003c\/i\u003e further tapped Grossman's experience as a journalist, newspaper columnist, documentary television producer, reporter, media historian, and playwright. \u003ci\u003eOLD EARTH\u003c\/i\u003e, a geological thriller that spans all time, deep dives into a startling discovery by Galileo and has earned Grossman international praise, taking top book honors at festivals in the U.S. and Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grossman contributed to the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, and was a reporter and columnist for the \u003ci\u003eBoston Herald American\u003c\/i\u003e.
