fantastic saga - By: House of the Haricots, 09 Aug 2007 
all this saga of books is uniquely excellent. Julian May carries the longs & complex story arc without a hitch. buy every one of them. unlike many fantasy & sci fi series that you dutifully buy to the bitter end, this one will continue to delight all the way. then move on to the galactic milleiu books
More books about Marc please. - By: , 25 Dec 2000 For me this is where the Saga of The Exiles really begins to kick in. The first two books are great but with the introduction of the greatest anti-heroin modern Sci-Fi the third bookin the series becones indespensible. It sets up a cracking finale for the last book.
Post Diluvian Antics In The Pliocene Epoch - By: joblud@yahoo.co.uk, 14 Dec 2000 
After a pacy narrativein the first two volumes of this series, May seems to starting to struggle to keep the momentum going. The Tanu have been dealt a devastating blow, & are now reeling under the pressure from Firvulag attacks. In their turn, the Firvulag are facing demands from the newly ascendant Howlers, led by Sugoll & Katlinel. But it also seems there are new threats emerging from beyond the shores of Europe. I liked the first two books, but felt that this one lacked direction. The story is descending into one that is dominated by politics & powerful individuals, like Elizabeth Orme & Felice Landry. There is littlein the way of new discoveries to be made, & those elements of the plot that ARE new are dealt with on a very intimate level almost immediately, thereby removing an opportunity to pose a dark, new & mysterious threat to the Many Coloured Land. Not as good as the first two booksin the series:in my view only worth reading if you want to find out what happens to some of the survivors of the cataclysm that ended 'The Golden Torc', but otherwise I wouldn't bother.
