Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson
4.0

Robinson is a master world-builder. He is especially good at it when he has real facts to work with. In Shaman he puts us inside the Ice Age world of the cave painters. The plot is a straightforward initiation story. Loon is an engaging protagonist. One cannot help but be fascinated by the drama of Loon's struggle and by his inner experience of the world he lives in. This book does what good science fiction does. It puts us in an alien world and makes it seem familiar.
