This is a spellbinding tale woven of equal parts epic and myth - with a liberal dash of hard science fiction.
When a one-way time tunnel to Earth’s distant past, specifically six million B.C., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for light-years around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years.
In the early 22nd century, many humans are being born with psychic powers and are linked in a single galactic mind. Those without these psychic powers - the misfits, undesirables, criminals, and radicals - have a choice: mental reprogramming or exile. Exile, voluntary or otherwise, takes them back six million years, to a time between the extinction of dinosaurs and the rise of Homo sapiens, and to a time of exotic surprises and unknown dangers.
Julian May lives in Washington state and has been writing science fiction and fantasy for more than 30 years.

I instantly loved it and have lent it so many times to people over the years that I've lost count but few seem to like it and it think it comes down to the introduction. It's a little long winded and could lead you to think the book is dull. I admit the setup is a bit sedate but when the book really starts in the pliocene exile the story explodes in directions you aren't expecting. In sci fi terms this book starts a bit 2001 and ends up as Star Wars. On steroids. Wearing a kilt and with it's hair on fire.
The reader of this version does a good job. Some of her pronunciations are way off but that may be due to typos in the original text. I hope they release the rest of the Saga ASAP.
An unacknowledged classic.

Don't be put off by some of the more negative reviews, everyone is entitled to their opinions and I respect them, but I found no problem with the narrator and her characterisation. In fact, whenever I start listening to a new audiobook, I always find a switch in narrator quite a jarring experience, no matter what their quality - especially if I've just finished enjoying a good listen.
This book is well read and entertaining and I'm looking forward to listening to the next three in the series when they're released. The story gets more exciting as you move into the next two books (it is a four book series)so I think if you like this one, you'll certainly want the next ones.

The other reviewers were a bit down on the reading. I don't find it bad at all. The different characters are given a voice without overdoing it.
Can't wait for the next volumes.
Still amazing
