The ManyColored Land
Volume 1 of the Saga of Pliocene Exile

This is a spellbinding tale woven of equal parts epic and mythwith a liberal dash of hard science fiction. When a oneway time tunnel to Earths distant past, specifically six million b.c., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for lightyears around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years. In the early twentysecond century, many humans are being born with psychic powers and are linked in a single galactic mind. Those without these psychic powersthe misfits, undesirables, criminals, and radicalshave a choice: mental reprogramming or exile. Exile, voluntary or otherwise, takes them back six million years, to a time between the extinction of dinosaurs and the rise of Homo sapiens, and to a time of exotic surprises and unknown dangers.
