Relation In Pursuance Of Books The Golden Torc (Saga of the Pliocene Exile #2)
By A.D. 2110 nearly 100,000 humans had fled the civilized strictures of the Galactic Milieu for the freedom they thought existed at the end of the one-way time tunnel to Earth, six million B.C.But all of them had fallen into the hands of the Tanu, a humanoid race who'd fled their own galaxy to avoid punishment for their barbarous ways.
And now the humans had made the Tanu stronger than the Firvulag, their degenerate brethren and ritual antagonists. Soon the Tanu would reign supreme. Or so they thought . . . .

The blend of SF and fantasy continues with #2 in the series. I don't generally like fantasy so it is credit to May' storytelling that enabled me to finish it and enjoy it. With so many characters and species, it's hard to maintain a deep engagement, but it all works nonetheless.Excellent "old school" fantasy, following on nicely from the scene-setting first book (The Many-Coloured Land) and sprawling in all directions with alien-race society/politics, rebel human shenanigan, individual stories and big wild-card characters such as the cocky Aiken Drum and the "troubled" Felice. All woven together well, never dragging and with a vein of humour running through. Now looking forward to book 3...
A great sequel where the characters fates are enlarged upon after their jounrey through the time gate.Well thought out and great continuity and flow.Doesn't lose pace and follows on well from where it left off from the first novel.
The Golden Torc is the second book in The Saga of Pliocene Exile series. You might assume that means it picks up where the last book lets off.It doesnt.It actually picks up, chronologically, about half-way through The Many Colored Land. Remember Aiken and Raimo and Elizabeth and Stein and Sukey? Now we get to learn what they were up to while Madame Guderian coached Felice et al through their cockamamie scheme. We follow this crew up until the timeline catches up to the end of book one, at which
As with the previous book, my memory made this seem better than it is. 2.5 stars for this one; it's a more focused book and more enjoyable for that. But Stein continues to be toxic as hell, making his wife break down and then against her will shutting off her mental powers, because she might use them to talk to people other than him. This after he screws everything up repeatedly by being unable to keep quiet about anything ever, and also by committing outrageous crimes. Somehow everyone values
This is second in the series. It follows the other members of the Green group. It was a good continuation of the overall story. We get more information on the Tanu and Firvulag . Part of me wishes there were books on just them, with no pesky human involvement. Humans mess everything up. Not going to say anything regarding the overall story, if you have read this out of order, you must be lost, more lost than our Group Green. I do have to read the next book : The Nonborn King to get to the end of
This entry feels more fantastical than the first, although science definitely still factors in. It is richer in action and intrigue and perhaps a bit less focused on character development.This is a difficult book to sum up, since so very much happens. Its an action-packed chunkster, providing the reader with information and new settings without ever feeling like an info-dump. The medieval-like flare of the Tanu and the goblin/fairie/shapeshifter qualities of the Firvulag are stronger in this
