Hugh Finch's "Arctic Revelation" is an extremely captivating and interesting book that effortlessly combines fact and fiction in a suspense-filled story. It seamlessly blurs the line between science, science fiction, history, and historical fiction—a true masterpiece.

What are the odds that humans might have devolved before evolving into the beings we are today? The book follows the story of Christian Yate, a newly graduated psychologist whose memories were blocked out after he and his father had an unfortunate encounter that ended his father's life. Two years prior to the present timeline, Christian was mixed up in a mysterious case with Colin Trevor, who somehow had access to the memories of his ancestors. After the tragic murder of Colin by a serial killer disguised as a doctor, Christian is drawn into a case of conspiracies, secrets, and betrayals.

One of the numerous reasons I liked the book was the suspense it held from the beginning of the book to the end. It kept readers guessing, especially on the identity of the serial killer (The Surgeon), giving hints to readers but just not enough hints for them to confirm. This keeps readers glued. Another reason I liked the book was because of how easily the author blended facts and fiction without a change in the pace or flow of the story. I also enjoyed the various plot twists throughout the story, and a perfect example is the identity of the serial killer and the true identity of the mysterious Interpol agent, Soren. I must also commend the editing of the book, as it was well edited and I only noticed two errors throughout the book.

The only thing I would consider a mild dislike is the frequent switches between the current timeline and the timeline two years prior. I feel this might be a little distracting for some readers.

Overall, I'd rate Hugh Finch's "Arctic Revelation" 4 out of 5 stars for the incredible plot, editing, and suspense. I deducted one star because of the dislike I mentioned earlier.

I'd recommend the book to lovers of both science fiction and thriller novels.
