4.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating, Good Read., May 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Path of the Hero (Mass Market Paperback)

A good slice of home (Earth), past and present, on an alien world. Some elements reminisent of Jurassic Park, but don't let that fool you. Especially with the Neanderthals and other pre-modern people. Here, they are not depicted as a bunch of grunting, primitive "cave men," but as an intelligent people whose emotions and sense of spirituality are more devoloped than our own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Humans, Neanderthals, and Dinosaurs on a distant world, October 15, 2005

This review is from: Path of the Hero (Mass Market Paperback)

Future scientists from earth used DNA from fossils on a distant world so humans, neanderthals, dinosaurs, and other creatures from earth's past live together. Humans have enslaved neanderthals and it's up to the half human, half neanderthal hero to free them. The world Wolverton creates is interesting, but I could have done without some parts with extended bouts of shamanistic mysticism thrown in.
Serpent Catch is set in the same world and precedes this book.

Really one of my favorite books I've read in a long time, this is an excellent read for readers of all ages and genres. It is hard to explain the overall depth of the plot, but it's worth the time to check it out. Read the 1st book in the series before you go for this one, of course. Look it up, i forget the name...
