Missing Link

To Humbolt's surprise, Schwimer has much different news. "I have just
returned from the Cascades and believe I have found the missing link."
There is a pause at Humbolt's end. Schwimer softly shouts, "Did you hear
me, Humbolt?"

When a new creature is discovered in Washington State's Cascade
Mountains, adversaries Arthur Schwimer, an evolutionist, and Gary
Humbolt, a creationist, join forces in a common quest to determine
the scientific veracity of the latest discovery of the so-called missing
link between ape and man.

A sophisticated research facility is set up in the remote section of the
forest where the creatures live. The substantiation of Darwin's theory-
and the possible demise of the world's most established religions-rest
on the results. But after the analysis begins, three members of the study
group are mysteriously killed. Judith Moses, Humbolt's assistant, wades
through the perplexing clues, desperately seeking answers before the
seemingly indisputable research can be presented to the public. Have
the researchers indeed discovered the missing link, or have they been
duped by a marvel of genetic engineering?
