![]() ![]() Far from being uninhabited, Pliocene Europe is the home of two warring races from another planet. The group that passes through the time-portal finds an unforeseen strangeness on the other side. It opens up a whole world of wonder, not in far-flung galaxies but in our own distant past on Earth-a world that will captivate not only science-fiction and fantasy fans but also those who enjoy literate thrillers.
