Julian May sets the scene for The Exiles Saga, describing the evolution of human minds to
operancy, and the coming of Unity. It is a thought provoking book with both humour and horror, but
please read The Exile Saga first (the many coloured land, the golden torc, the non-born king and the adversary).

Reading this book shocked me into remembering how much I'd loved the Saga of the Exiles. This continuation is just as good, if not better. Rogi is a loveable main character, and the viewpoint is magnificent. Julian May weaves sucha full web, you are never left without something to read. THIS is how the future could have been, THIS is how it could still be.

It's a tricky question, but I think that this should be the starting point for anyone new to the Galactic Milieu/Saga of the Exiles world. Oncle Rogi gently introduces us to a developing world - May cleverly foresees many technical developments - and sets the scene for the events of the Saga. But then, after you've read the Saga of the Exiles, you'll want to come back to this book to see what happened next - or is it before? Whichever way round, read these smashing books. They have warm, developed characters, thought-provoking ethical discussions and sex with aliens in pschedelic tanks. What's not to like?!

Not a new book!
Surveillance is basically half of the book published in the UK as Intervention. Excellent though, love this Julian May series!

Excellence in alternate reality
This is my favorite of the survallence series. Rogi is finally introduced, and is also on of the most important humans ever born (catspaw of the Lymlik). Read more
