Julian May
Has anyone read the Julian May series of books. I have just finished the first two and they are excellent. A very unique story plot. I have really enjoyed the books so far and look forward to reading the rest of the series
 Time travelers go back to Earth's pre historic time, to escape the modern world. Only to find out that Aliens have arrived and are also living in this pre historic time. The humans are captured and used for breeding stock and other purposes. Some love life with Aliens and are rewarded with the wearing of silver or gold torcs(necklaces) which enhance their normal Psi abilities, and links them mentally with the Aliens. Others are plotting to have the time gate closed and over throw the Alien rulers. The first two books follow two groups of humans who came through the time gate together. sorry to run on so, but they are excellent books |

I actually read the later ones first, the metapsychic Galactic Milieu trilogy! And then, I couldn't track down the Pliocene epoch ones at all! So, to date, I've read all the galactic ones, and not the earth pliocene ones. And they're all out of print....

"The Astels are an emotional people. They cry at the drop of a handkerchief. Their culture is much like that of Pelosia. They're extremely devot and invincibly backward. It's been demonstrated to them over an over that serfdom is an archaic, inefficent institution, but they maintain it anyway--largely at the connivance of the serfs thmselves. Astellian nobles don't exert themselves in any way, so they have no concept of human endurance. The serfs take advantage of that outrageously. Astellian serfs have been known to collapse from sheer exhauston at the very mention of such unpleasant words as 'reaping' or 'digging'." ----------------------------------------------- “They lost him?!” Lupin asked , amazed. “Voldemort has been after Harry for 15 years, and then he misplaces him?!” |
