Product Description

The fourth and final volume of The Saga of Pliocene Exile.
Until the arrival of Aiken Drum, the 100,000 humans who had fled backward in time to Pliocene exile on Earth knew little but slavery to the Tanu -- the humanoid aliens who came from another galaxy. But King Aiken's rule is precarious, for the Tanu's twisted bretheren are secretly maneuvering to bring about his downfall. Worse -- Aiken is about to confront a man of incredibly powerful Talents who nearly overthrew a galactic rule. He is Marc Remillard. Call him . . . The Adversary.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Armageddon - Pliocene style, Janv. 9 2001
Par "angel-of-the-abyss" (SYDNEY, NSW Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The end is nigh, Night is about to Fall. The ogreish Firvulag plot amongst themselves, eager to fight the Final Battle and defeat their Foe once and for all. The elfin Tanu, finally united under their new Golden King, are rapidly changing traditions that have stood for millenia. The scattered Lowlives, once renegade humans hiding in the woods, are forming a third power block, using technology smuggled from the future and the deadly bloodmetal, fatal to the alien races. And high above them all, in her self imposed isolation, reluctant planetary guardian Elizabeth Orm bears the burdens of three races on her tired shoulders.

The signs are all around, the portents fulfilled, the NightFall war is coming, and with it, the Adversary - Marc Remillard, Paramount Grand Master Psychic. Rebel. Monster. He was one of the most powerful minds in the future, before he turned against everyone he loved, and led thousands in a war against the peaceful Galactic Milleu. His actions caused the deaths of millions, and he fled through the time gate, hoping to restart his plans with a six million year head start. The Tanu and Firvulag call him The Adversary, but his own people know him as Abaddon - the Angel of the Abyss.

His dreams for humanities future led him into its past, and know he stands on the brink of the abyss, torn between his humanity and his destiny mistaken about both.

5.0étoiles sur 5 THE WHOLE SERIES DESERVES 10 STARS! EXCELLENT!, Mai 12 2000
What can I say about this final book (though not the end)in a wonderfully creative series, I am amazed at Julian Mays ability to create such a rich and complex world ! the characters are unique, well defined and feel real, you are able to immerse yourself in their world so easily that you are thankfully distracted from your own very mundane exsistance!

There is so much to this series that it is difficult to summarise adequately the sheer originality and creativity that went into this scifi/fantasy classic! I shall instead leave that up to you, to follow the misfits of Human society and dare to travel to the Earths distant past and be part of an adventure like none other, this series is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, you wont regret making this a fine addition to your collection! SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Genius, Mars 31 2000
Hi, The Exile series is a great burst vision and creativity and originality. I originally read the series 10 years ago when i started uni. I didn't get it. But now it makes sense, i can appreciate the genius. Especially with "magic" being replaced with metaphysics, it updated the tolken genre for recent times. I would rate the Phillip jose pharmer "World of tiers series", as slightly better, but Mays writing style and originality are awesome.

Also, I have been experimenting with lucid dreaming, so i can appreciate the various "meta" powers first hand!

I look forward to the milieu series. I can be contacted on grassom@smartchat.net.au for any comments, and btw where is the julian may web site?
