The many colored land by julian may7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() I still see people talk about the series, but not as many as there should be. It's a tale that took hold of me and had me reading the next five or six books in relatively swift order. It all gets complicated but the imagination is unbounded and the writing very good. ![]() There are various factions among the humans and the aliens, and the alien technology wakes psychic powers among the humans too. This is a time of woolly mammoths rather than dinosaurs, but the twist is that psychic aliens are there already and set to enslaving our exiles. They are a very eclectic bunch including a man who believes in Narnia and Aslan, a gay nun, a skilled thief who won't give up crime, all sorts. This, excellent, series is set mainly in the Pliocene era of Earth, where miscreants from our distant future are exiled via a time portal.īack in this past, several million years before our time, these futuristic exiles try to make a life for themselves with the hi-tech objects they are allowed to take with them. I think it was Julian May who gave me the taste for mixing fantasy and science fiction. ![]() ![]() The sad news has motivated to review this book, which I haven't read in 30 years. According to the publisher Angry Robot, Julian May has died, age 86. ![]()
