Mixed feelings on this book. Author sets a group of characters in similar situations throughout history from our current thoughts of the beginnings of man to the near future. Not so much a story of the characters but more the repeated history of the human race fighting savagely for land, resources, power. Although the individuals show necessary courage and family unity, it's the repeated attackers who ultimately destroy cultures and people throughout time. A difficult truth to read but necessary to understand this view of humankind. Despite being in his 70's Mr.Anthony writes like a thirteen year old boy. Sadly a boy who is obsessed with sex. And yet he makes it dull and boring, This is a collection of stories about early man and one set in the future. He uses the same characters with names like Hero, Rebel, and Craft in each story. And in every story someone is going to have sex. Sometimes willingly, sometimes not. Frequently a d female character was forced into offering or withholding sex to get what she wanted.In his view of world history everything hinged around the need for sexual intercourse and related activities. The fact that we are here does proves that early man was sexually active I doubt that he was a obsessed as the characters in the book. I have greatly enjoyed his Xanth series with their various puns but the world could have survived without this book.
Do You like book Climate Of Change (2010)?
I loved the other books in the Geodyssey series but this was dry and very hard to get through.

Interesting idea for the book. Several decent stories to give a sense of the history.

Terrible! Seemingly filled with the authors rape and sexual fantasies.
