The grand prize-winner of the Writers of the Future contest creates an imaginative universe--chillingly similar to our own, yet mind-expanding in its unique vision. Set in the same far-future world as his acclaimed Serpent Catch, Wolverton tells a complex tale of a planet populated by both humans and Ne anderthals, struggling to come to terms with their destiny.
Dave Wolverton (born 1957) is a science fiction author who also goes under the pseudonym David Farland for his fantasy works. He currently lives in St. George, Utah with his wife and five children.
Recommended marginally. I enjoyed it less than its prequel, Serpent Catch, and certainly less than Orson Scott Card when he reviewed it in F&SF, Summer '93.... review
