Title: An excellent original (not a Tolkien ripoff)
Product review: Finally a fantasy that doesn't hint of a Tolkien takeoff. That's not to say all other fantasy books are bad, but there are a lot that resemble The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings in some way or another.This first book in the Saga of the Exiles series takes us back to prehistoric Earth from the future using a one-way time machine. The world if beautifully painted and the large number of central characters are alternated between wonderfully.The two alien races inhabiting prehostoric France are well developed with a thoughtful background and unique and entertaining characteristics. I couldn't put this book down from the moment I picked it up and I am delighted that there are more in the series because by the end of this book you want to know more.
