Hailed as aremarkablea by the "New Yorker," "Emporium" earned Adam Johnson comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut and T. C. Boyle. Now, in "Parasites Like Us," he takes us on an enthralling journey through memory, time, and the cost of mankindas quest for his own past.

Anthropologist Hank Hannah has just illegally exhumed an ancient American burial site and winds up in jail. But the law will soon be the least of his worries. For, buried beside the bones, a timeless menace awaits that will set the modern world back twelve thousand years and send Hannah on a quest to save that which is dearest to him. A brilliantly evocative and haunting cautionary adventure, "Parasites Like Us" will earn Johnson an immense audience of devoted fans.

Industry Reviews

A fantastically twisted and terrifying first novel. (Esquire) A grim romp of a first novel... great ingenuity and bravado . . . an artifact of real ambition and originality. (The New York Times Book Review)
