Not only is it an outstanding time travel story, but Farmer has pulled a real number here. As you may know, he's a big ERB fan--in A Feast Unknown he did something similar with favorite fictional characters. This is even better. -Bud.\u003c\/em\u003e Three men and a woman travel on board a timeship from the future of 2070 AD back to to 12,000 BC! For these anthropologists, a chance to study primitive man, the wild creatures and the very different world they inhabit. But none of them was prepared for what they would encounter, or for the impact of their travels in time that had yet to come… And one of the travelers is a thinly veiled very famous fictional character! A prequel to \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Jose Farmer’s\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAncient Opar\u003c\/em\u003e series and a big fan favorite, first published in 1972 in paperback.\n\n\u003cem\u003eI really, really enjoyed this. I've never read a lot of Farmer's work, but now I have to read the sequel, Ancient Opar! This is a straight-up, superbly written adventure taking modern men (and a woman) back to the ancient time of cavemen, mastodons, saber-tooth tigers, giant hyenas, wolf packs. And they even end up travels over much of southern Europe and into North Africa (connected together by a land bridge at that time). And with a real shocker of an ending!!! - Bud\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nBonus Features:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eAn introduction, “The Great Escape,” by \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Spiteri\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eAn Afterword, “Gribardsun and the Wold Newton Family,” by \u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Paul Carey\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003e“Gribardsun through the Ages: A Chronology of Major Events Pertinent to \u003cem\u003eTime’s Last Gift,”\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eWin Scott Eckert\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDennis E.
