There are various factions among the humans and the aliens, and the alien technology wakes psychic powers among the humans too. This is a time of woolly mammoths rather than dinosaurs, but the twist is that psychic aliens are there already and set to enslaving our exiles. They are a very eclectic bunch including a man who believes in Narnia and Aslan, a gay nun, a skilled thief who won't give up crime, all sorts. This, excellent, series is set mainly in the Pliocene era of Earth, where miscreants from our distant future are exiled via a time portal.īack in this past, several million years before our time, these futuristic exiles try to make a life for themselves with the hi-tech objects they are allowed to take with them. I think it was Julian May who gave me the taste for mixing fantasy and science fiction. The sad news has motivated to review this book, which I haven't read in 30 years. According to the publisher Angry Robot, Julian May has died, age 86.
