The Golden Torc follows the wonderful start of this Pliocene Exile series, The Many-Colored Land. This book is just as good as the first. Humans in the near future have been discovered by the aliens of the Galactic Milieu. This 'intervention' was precipitated by the development of active mental powers in humans. The aliens have a benevolent galactic 'Unity', or mental collective. However - not all humans fit in, as usual. A time portal back to a specific location and time is discovered, back to the Pliocene Era. Unfortunately aliens from another galaxy arrived first and the humans that go back in time must contend against them. In this second book, the humans and aliens try to find a balance. Some want to go back, others want to be left alone and others want to live in peace. There's also a new faction - a group of renegade human operants from the future. I found these books to be excellent in setting and plot. They aren't overly heavy on details or characters. The characters are bold and memorable and the setting is very, very well done. One of my favorite books. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Second in the series that portrays "one of the best-thought-out futures ever encountered in science fiction" from the author of The Many-Colored Land (Joe Haldeman). Six million years in the past, a proto-Europe is inhabited by two extraterrestrial races, the chivalric Tanu and the dwarfish, forest-dwelling Firvulagâ??both of which possess far-reaching psychic powers. But now, time-traveling humans from a future society have become involved in the age-old struggle between the two. One group of captured humans is brought to Muriah, the stately capital of the Tanu kingdom. Among them is Elizabeth Orme, who was once, in her own world, a Grand Master Metapsychic. In spite of Tanu harassment, she begins to recover her lost powers. The other human group, which has managed to overcome its Tanu guards and escape into the northern forests, includes Chief Burke, a Native American, and Felice Uindry, an athlete gifted with certain psychic powers of her own. This group, with the ambiguous aid of the Firvulag, determines to launch an attack against the very heart of Tanu dominance. At the end of the Grand Combat tournament between Tanu and Firvulag comes the astonishing climax to this astonishing novel. Praise for the Saga of Pliocene Exile "Enchanting and engrossing . . . I was captivated."â??Fritz Leiber "Julian May has woven a many-colored tapestry of exotic adventure."â??Roger Zelazny "Action-oriented and vivid."â??Vonda McIntyre "An amazing journey from the distant future to the distant past . . . High adventure."â??SFRNon sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

More plot development, more plot lines - that moment in the book when I suddenly remembered what happens as the climax!! Much enjoyed. ( )
