Also a mythical pre-human, who I'm not nearly so fond of. Farmer's tendency to discuss heights, volumes, speeds, etc. all in both metric & imperial systems also drives me a bit batty. But its his over-interest (from my POV) in technology instead of relationships that really disappoints me.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />WandaWandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731311054637831837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126862445245993591.post-88626202637228436552013-10-06T20:22:56.630-06:002013-10-06T20:22:56.630-06:00Hi Wanda

It has been a while since I read it but if I remember here was some early hominids and at least one alien and I would have preferred<br />more on those characters. But like I say I am pretty foggy on the plot by now. <br />Like everyone I loved the mystery of the premise of the first book.<br /><br />Regards<br />Guy <br /><br />Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.com
