Winter in Eden

Rating:
Summary: least favorite of a great series
Review: This is truly first rate sci fi, with grand conceptions and epic sweep, fascinating characters, and a sense of wonder. All this is deepened in this volume, but it is less fun than the first, as sequels usually go. It also depends on a bluff that I found disingenuous.

Review: While I'm not a hardcore sci-fi fan,I was totally blown away by the concept of the "West of Eden" series. I especially liked book II..."Winter in Eden". This story really became a character study for heros. While there is one main character throughout the series, in book II the focus quickly gets shifted to a female,(our main character's mate) and forget everything you ever knew about heros!This woman is devoted to her mate, and will do anything to maintain their family's well being. Some of the situations faced by these characters is a true testament to human endurance. The very idea that nomadic tribes could exist under some of the conditions described with-in the pages of this gripping story still give me shivers, and I fully intend to read this wonderful series again. Mr. Harrison is truly one of my favorite Authors.
