| Plot |
| In 1945, the technology of death was mastered, and Mankind entered a new era that could well be its last. But Nature evolves its own defense, and since that time, unnoticed throughout the world, children with amazing mental talents have been born. They are the metapsychic operants ? and they have the power to rule the world. But superhuman ability misguided can be as sure a weapon as the deadliest bomb. Will the new humans lead us to utter destruction? Or will they show us the way to take our place among the truly intelligent races of the universe? "I enjoyed Julian May's Pliocene Exile series and have been waiting for her new book. She is a writer of perception and power who has created an original world by a skillful weaving of archeology, mythology, and imagination." ? Jean Auel "I've long been impressed with Julian May's imaginative and richly detailed alternate history. The care and attention she brings to her novels is an inspiration to anyone with ambitions to create a self-consistent world of fiction. Unlike so many others, she does her homework and weaves threads from real life into her tapestries of wonder." ? David Brin |
