TO EDEN

THE TRILOGY CONCLUDES...

In West of Eden and Winter in Eden, Harry Harrison, am acknowledged master of imaginative fiction, broke new ground with his most ambitious project to date.  He brought to vivid life the world as it might have been, where dinosaurs survived, where their intelligent descendants, The Yilanè, challenged humans for mastery of the Earth, and where the human Kerrick, a young hunter of the Tanu tribe, grew among the dinosaurs and rose to become their most feared enemy.

Now, in Return to Eden, Harrison brings the epic trilogy to a stunning conclusion.  After Kerrick rescues his people from the warlike Yilanè, they must regroup and consider their future.  They find a safe haven on an island and there begin to rebuild their shattered lives.  But with fierce predators stalking the forests, how long can these unarmed human outcasts hope to survive?  They need weapons, but the only effective weapons lie in the hands of the technologically superior Yilanè.  The small band of humans have no choice but to confront their fate head-on.

And, of course, Kerrick cannot forget Vaintè, his implacable Yilanè enemy.  She's been cast out from her kind, under sentence of death, but how long will her banishment last?  For her strange attraction to Kerrick has turned into a hatred even more powerful than her inbred instincts - and obsession that compels her to hunt down Kerrick and kill him.  In a world completely unlike our own, two great cultures struggling for mastery of the Earth face the same problem that faces us today: how to coexist on the same planet with others completely unlike ourselves - or mutually perish.  Eagerly awaited by millions of Harry Harrison fans around the world, Return to Eden is the poignant and compelling finale to this spectacularly popular and masterfully imagined series.

THE WORLD
WEST OF EDEN

A dazzling, imaginative and rousing yarn, the West of Eden saga is also a rigorously researched scientific scenario of alternate history.  Working in collaboration with an international team of scientific experts in biology, engineering, language, anthropolgy and philosophy, Harrison has created a believable, rishly detailed world rivaling Frank Herbert's Dune and Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear, in the majesty of its scope and conception.

In a career that spans more than three decades, Harry Harrison has written more than a dozen novels, including the humorous Stainless Steel Rat novels, and the classic Make Room! Make Room!, basis for the film Soylent Green.  A past president of the World Science Fiction Association, he is also a noted anthologist, editing the acclaimed Nova series and co-editing the highly praised Decade and Year's Best SF volumes with British author Brian Aldiss.  Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Harrison now lives with his wife in County Wicklow, Ireland where he is at work on his next novel.
