Product Description

Product Description

On Earth, six million B.C., two species of alien ruled, the graceful humanoid Tanu and their twisted brethren, the Firvulag. Then men from twenty-second century Earth arrived through a one-way time tunnel -- and soon the aliens were locked in a battle to the death, for the humans had upset the precarious balance of power that existed between them.
But when the tides of combat had receded, no one group held firm control, though Aiken Drum, man of no woman born, had declared himself the Nonborn King . . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars The new Fairy King is set to shake up History, Jan 9 2001
By "angel-of-the-abyss" (SYDNEY, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
Once again, the human exiles of the 22nd century must join the struggle for survival in the alien dominated Many Coloured Land. Only this time, they've brought their future tech with them.

The landscape - both geographic and political - has been radically altered, and the long standing balance of power between elfin Tanu and ogreish Firvulag has been upset. There's a new power block in the Pliocene, and they don't play by the rules.

The only strand holding the planet together is the reluctant vision of Eliizabeth Orm, shanghaied into guardianship over these bickering children. Can she maintain the truce between the new aggresive Firvulag rulers, and the lofty Tanu Knights, led by their ultimate Trickster? And where do the rebel humans fit in?

Locke, Puck and Jester, all rolled into one, there are depths to this little non-born that not even he realises.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is absolutely marvellous and should be read., April 8 1999
By A Customer
Together with the three other books in this series, 'The Nonborn King' is a marvellous book. Many climaxes are created in this part and many riddles get solved. It shows the reign of Aiken Drum and his new kingdom in the many-colored land. May describes Aiken in an intriguing way and like with all the characters in the book, the reader gets emotionally involved in their actions. The world is fantastic, the people are adventurous, the plot in arcane and the story is very original. This book is a must for every fantasy lover and the elements of sci-fi make it even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner!, May 2 1998
Third book of the Pliocene saga in which Aiken Drum truly shines. Drum is one of May's most memorable characters, a hyperbolic manifestation of Hermes, Loki -- the mythical trickster. Great character in a brilliant, well-thought-out world. We also get introduced to Mark Remillard, who will become the most important person in the ensuing novels and the most important person in human evolution, if you take it that far. It was fun to re-read this one after completing the 9-book series. May is a revelation! The entire series is a joy to be cherished.
