For 60,000 years the five races of the Galactic Milieu have waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for intervention. As the 20th century draws to its end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by "operants" on Earth. One of these is Rogatien Remillar, book dealer.

May delivers again,
By
This review is from: Intervention (Paperback)
I first read the Pliocene exile saga 15 years ago, and it was my favourite series then. I read it again last year, and couldn't get enough, so I went out and bought all the relevant galactic milieu books.
In this companion to the Exile series, May delivers again. With the same dexterity, vocab and colourful imagination we've come to expect, May tells us the story of Earth's adoption into the galactic milieu from the outsider's perspective (the Milieu). I highly recommend this title to anyone who read and enjoyed the Pliocene Exiles saga, or the Galactic Milieu trilogy as it is a perfect bridge and will appeal to all of May's fans.

Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intervention (Paperback)
This is start of the saga, and it details the early history of the Remillard family with regards to the time period. Rogatien Remillard is used as a point of view character via his memoirs and other activities.
Being human, some use these special powers for their own ends, in hiding, while others want to use them for the good of humanity, while one particular Remillard family problem is a crazed psychopathic killer. Several alien races have been watching the planet earth for tens of thousands of years, to judge when the humans are mature enough as a species to be admitted to galactic society. This involves enough of the human race having enhanced mental powers, at an operant, rather than latent level. This is beginning to happen, and pressures are growing.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent story establishing the foundations of her Galactic Milieu novels,
By
This review is from: Intervention (Paperback)
Julian May has created a compelling story with character I found to be engaging and about whose struggles I found it easy to care. Her device of using the Uncle Rogi character as the narrator / catalyst worked well for me, giving the story a relatively normal (non-meta) perspective.
I found this to be an excellent read in its own right, and a fitting contemporary genesis for the Milieu and Exiles trilogies. The only downside? - Needs cooler aliens!
