A review by ottopivnr
The Many-Colored Land by Julian May

5.0

This is a classic of sci-fi world building that I have, quite uncharacteristically, reread many times. Julian May just recently passed, and quite coincidentally I have been reading a bit on nonfiction about paleontology and our ancestral and geological past, so a trip back to the Pliocene fit quite naturally. There is nothing about this saga that has aged poorly, and the characters are just as vibrant and compelling as they've always been. No doubt i will pick up the second book today.
