The Earth's Children sagas by Jean Auel ( #5 in this series is due soon):
Clan of the Cave Bear, (#1), Jean Auel. Among the finest prehistoric sagas ever written, it is set 35,000 years ago in Ice Age Europe and west Asia. The novel focuses on the evolutionary struggle between two cultures - two branches of the human family tree. Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon (the "Others"), is adopted by a clan of Neanderthals. Physically, mentally and emotionally different, she is never completely accepted by all of the Clan’s members. Auel (pronounced "Owl") paints a vivid picture of a beautiful, threatening, exciting world, and peoples it with very human characters. Her heroine blends her higher intelligence with Clan instinct and tradition to come to a fuller understanding of the word than either race alone had done. At the same time, she is the center of conflict between the two races and ways of life. Clan is a compelling look at the human evolutionary drama. Some readers might wish Auel had included more human/animal interaction. However, nearly everyone will become avid fans of this habit forming series.

Mammoth Hunters, (#3) Jean Auel. Like the two previous "Earth’s Children" novels, this is a well researched, tightly woven story. Auel skillfully brings the reader into the Ice Age world of hunter-gatherers. Ayla and her companion Jondalar set out on a journey to return to his home, and on the way encounter a encampment of Mamutoi - the Mammoth Hunters. When they decide to stay with the Camp, a new series of adventures and discoveries begins. From the dangers of hunting the awesome mammoth to the complexities of understanding interpersonal relationships, Ayla meets her challenges head-on. As with The Valley of Horses, there the feel of "romance novel" to this work. If you like your prehistory spicy, this is a must read.
Hardcover, this novel only $23.95
Paperback $6.75 (10%, $0.75, off retail!)
Audio Cassette $26.06 (10%, $2.89, off retail!)
The Plains of Passage, (#4) Jean Auel. In the most sweeping novel in the "Earth’s Children" series, Auel takes the reader on a journey across Ice Age Europe. Determined to return to his home, Jondalar convinces Ayla to leave the Camp of the Mamutoi and join him. In their travels they encounter untold dangers from the elements as well as from the people they meet. True to her earlier works, Auel examines the hopes and fears, the very humanness of her characters. The novel explores both the heights to which humanity can rise and the depths to which it can plummet. For those who have read the previous works in the series, Auel’s expert descriptions of the flora and fauna of the age are a bit tiresome. Otherwise, this novel returns to the level of excellence first observed in Clan of the Cave Bear.
Audio Cassettes $35.96 (10%, $3.99, off retail!)
Valley of Horses, (#2), Jean Auel. Ayla must use her wits to survive on her own after being "cursed" by the Clan’s vengeful leader. Auel weaves a fascinating story of courage, ingenuity and perseverance, taking the reader on a thrilling journey of Ice Age discoveries. The novel delves into human emotions and needs against the backdrop of a world in which surviving each day is a triumph. After saving the life of a young man, an "Other" like herself, Ayla faces unexpected challenges and fears. The "romance" aspect introduced in Valley may turn some readers off; nevertheless, Auel has produced a fine sequel to her first work.

The Shadow of the Serpent: A Coyote Moon
Story, James Joseph. Review: Shadow of the
Serpent is a thrill-packed and emotionally-charged epic
adventure which beckons those of us on the "war path" to follow
a better Way. I had a sense of being irresistably drawn through
misty woods into mysterious caverns, only to hear the
whisperings of shamans sharing the wonders of ancient Truth: Go
back and live in the Light. Henceforth, whenever I see patterns
of yellow and black, I will be unable to ignore the metaphorical
warning. Read this important mystical work. Description: An
action-filled adventure that blends fact and fantasy into a
spiritual journey. A leap ahead of formula-driven Native
American fiction that brings about a true picture of ancient
wisdom. Are the gains of modern civilization substantive or
illusory? Did we lose our true sense of meaning in the
transition? Shadow of the Serpent/A Coyote Moon Story is
a page from the distant past spun into a parable fit for the
next millennium.
