Volume Ill and IV in the Saga of Pliocene Exile

Blurb: “Discovered in 2034, the Guderian time-gate opened a one-way door into the Pliocene epoch of Earth's prehistoric past. It became a perfect bolt-hole for 22nd-century misfits; a gateway to a pristine world where they could live unen-cumbered by the dull, rationalized stability of the Galactic Milieu.

But a surprise awaited the self-exiled adventurers. A dimorphic alien race of intergalactic refugees with strong psychic powers, the noble Tanu and gnome-like Firvulag, were firmly in control of the world they'd named the Many-Colored Land. For the humans, the expected primeval paradise became a terrible trap.

Then Group Green arrived from the future. Three of the group's eight members possessed psychic powers that were a match for the aliens. Aiken Drum, the wily trickster, shrewd politician and psychic powerhouse, won the right to lead the Tanu as king. Felice Landry, a psychotic young woman whose mental might rivaled Aiken's, vowed to destroy all who dared to get in her way. Elizabeth Orme, a master psychic healer and teacher, came through the time-gate to escape emotional responsibility, only to be hailed as a savior by the mysterious being called Brede Shipspouse.

Now The Nonborn King & The Adversary carry on this superb tale.

As the hideous Firvulag prepare for their Nightfall War against the Tanu, Aiken schemes to consolidate his power and stop them. But an even greater challenge threatens from a new direction.

Psychic genius Marc Remillard and the other leaders of the Metapsychic Rebellion of the 22nd century fled to the Pliocene after nearly wrecking the Galactic Milieu. Now Remillard hopes to use Aiken to achieve at last the Rebellion's frightening aims.

However, the children of the Metapsy-chic rebels, now grown to young adult-hood, have other ideas. They want Aiken to help them set up a time-gate from the Pliocene side to the Milieu they've heard so much about but never seen.

Remillard will do anything to stop them, even help the Firvulag overpower Aiken and the Tanu to win the Nightfall War. So it is Remillard now who holds the key to the future of the Many-Colored Land

These two spellbinding novels complete the Saga of Pliocene Exile tetralogy, a grand entertainment already being hailed as a new classic of science fiction adventure.
