Hybrids: Volume Three of the Neanderthal Parallax Review: Third book doesn't disappoint - Sawyer really put together a great series with these three books. They explore a lot of controversial topics and show us what life could potentially be like if only we could give up many of our supposed freedoms to live in an Orwellian society. A great read! You owe it to yourself to finish this great series. Review: Loved the Whole Series - I like the whole series, but I have to admit this one was a little disappointing in comparison to the first two. Maybe it's the title: spoiler alert: the first hybrid is actually still in utero at the end of the book. But the strange things that lead up to the fetus being created are fascinating enough. Perhaps a fourth book for the series? That would definitely be cool. Ponter Boddit, a Barast (neanderthal) and Mary Vaughan, a Gliksin (like us), were in love and talking about bonding (marriage is not quite the term, but close) and having a child at the end of the second book. But of course there are some pretty obvious difficulties, not the least of which is that we have 23 chromosomes and they have 24. Still, Dr. Vaughan is a geneticist, so if anyone can work out a solution, it is she. Well, actually, it turns out a Barast geneticist is the one who solves it, but her technique has been banned by the High Gray Council. Her idea was not to create Barast/Gliksin hybrids, but it could be used for that, and for much else. It's the "much else" that forms the danger: once you can synthesize any DNA you want, sooner or later such power will be used for evil. Predictably, it is. While all this is going on, Ponter and Mary are working out the complications involved in sharing their two very different lives. To me, that's the most interesting part of the story. And again, the fact that Gliksins have brains hard-wired to religious experience while Barasts do not becomes an issue. As an atheist myself, I find this aspect intriguing. Remember, Mary is not simply religious, she is Catholic. I would rate the entire series 4.5 stars if that were possible, but I'll give this one 4. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,355,388 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,035 in Hard Science Fiction (Books) #6,113 in Genetic Engineering Science Fiction (Books) #332,655 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | Neanderthal Parallax | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (588) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.88 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0765326345 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0765326348 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | September 28, 2010 | | Publisher | Tor Books | ## Images ![Hybrids: Volume Three of the Neanderthal Parallax - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nZWPyabTL.jpg) ![Hybrids: Volume Three of the Neanderthal Parallax - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81n5J+rckjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Third book doesn't disappoint *by J***N on February 3, 2014* Sawyer really put together a great series with these three books.

Robert J Sawyer now qualifies as one of the all-time great sci-fi writers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/50732970-hybrids-volume-three-of-the-neanderthal-parallax](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/50732970-hybrids-volume-three-of-the-neanderthal-parallax) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
