About This Book

The narrative alternates between a primeval hunter's ordeal in a Niocene wilderness and the upheaval that flings a twentieth-century woman into that dawn world. A young caveman undertakes deadly hunts against saber-toothed predators to prove himself to a prospective mate, while the displaced woman must navigate unfamiliar tribes, volcanic landscapes, and relentless beasts. Vivid action sequences of survival and combat are balanced with scenes of courtship and social ritual, highlighting the clash between modern sensibilities and elemental existence and exploring courage, attraction, and adaptation in a vividly imagined prehistoric environment.
