Description
It is the Paleolithic period, where danger abounds, and life exists on the brink. Between the Mt. Lebanon mountain range and the Mediterranean coast, Sira and her band of nomadic hunters have been broken and scattered by the invasion of a technologically superior, war-like tribe of conquerors.
Fleeing from their ancestral homeland, they seek refuge and assistance in a large coastal village. But the villagers are not all they appear to be. New bonds are formed, and loyalties are tested, as Sira and her family face the deadliest adversary their world has ever known. They will be forced to learn new skills and make allies with a legendary ancient people, whose very existence remained a myth, but will it be enough?
Discover a mysterious and intriguing stone age world, and follow this action-packed adventure to its explosive, gripping conclusion.

This story was a very pleasant surprise. I can honestly say it had everything I look for in a good story.
I don't usually read stories about prehistoric times, but this was on par with Quest for Fire.
There was action, suspense, with a little spice thrown into the mix as well. I am looking forward to the next part of the story to come out. Two thumbs up.

It is rare to read a novel about stone age society, especially a book as gripping as this. The story is centred around a group of diverse characters from various tribes and species of hominids. both homo sapiens and neanderthal.
The author has clearly undertaken detailed research of this relatively unknown period of our history.
I really liked his descriptions of neanderthal society, the race in some ways seemed to be superior to the homo sapiens in their closeness and understanding of the natural world. A lot of comparisons could be made to the modern world and interracial strife and cultural differences.
The action scenes are very believable and exciting to read.
I will definitely be reading the next episode in the series.
