Product Description
Review
Part four and last of The Saga of Pliocene Exile - and, after the agreeably improved Volume Three (The Nonborn King, 1982), it's back to the overcrowded, stagey blather that characterized Volumes One and Two. A band of human malcontents, exiled via timewarp to Earth's Pliocene epoch, have, under their paranormal-powered king Aiken Drum, achieved dominance over two alien races, the knightly Tanu and their age-old rivals, the dwarfish Firvulag. The latter, however, are plotting to destroy both the Tanu and the humans by launching the Nightfall War according to the requirements of the battle religion they share with the Tanu. Other complications arise as super-paranormal Marc Remillard, perfecting a method of teleportation, schemes to win over his rebellious children and use them in a breeding program aimed at creating a new race of immortal disembodied brains. The children, though, supported by Drum, prefer to take their chances up in the future, and so work frantically to build a new timewarp so that anyone who wants to may return home. Wildly overblown, soggy, undramatic, and labored: strictly for series addicts. (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
This is the fourth book in "The Saga of the Exiles" series. The Frivulag are rising, while the children of the metaphysic rebels are to re-open the time gate - sole escape route back to the Galatic Milieu - and Marc Remillard, the adversary, takes up his destined role in the power play.
