Not Quite Human

Max is feeling her age - a life-threatening fall has cut her career as an anthropologist short - and all she wants to do is live out her life quietly in the backwaters of academia. But a stranger, bearing an extraordinary tale of Neanderthals and odd artifacts in a cave in the Jemez pushes her to come out of her shell and embrace life again...and the stranger! But there is more than meets the eye in that small, dark cave on the edge of a cliff - bones that somehow don't look right...and then there are the discs, made of an odd alloy that doesn't match anything on earth. And suddenly Max finds her life is not quiet at all as she and her lover pit their wits against the United State Government. Luckily they've got an unknown but powerful ally...if they can get the information to them before time runs out!
