Stone Spring (The Northland Trilogy) Tapa dura – 1 noviembre 2011
Alternate history at its most mindblowing-from the national bestselling author of Flood and Ark.
Ten thousand years ago, a vast and fertile plain exists linking the British Isles to Europe. Home to a tribe of simple hunter-gatherers, Northland teems with nature's bounty, but is also subject to its whims.
Fourteen-year-old Ana calls Northland home, but her world is changing. The air is warming, the ice is melting, and the seas are rising. Then Ana meets a traveler from a far-distant city called Jericho-a city that is protected by a wall. And she starts to imagine the impossible...

2,0 de 5 estrellas Eigentlich gut
Eigentlich ist die Idee nicht schlecht, die Figuren werden gut beschrieben und man kann das ganze einigermassen nachvollziehen, aber es kommt leider nicht so richtig in Fahrt. Ich hatte mir mehr davon versprochen, aber nun habe ich zur Seite gelegt und was neues angefangen.

5,0 de 5 estrellas Baxter does it again
I'll admit that I'm a fan of Stephen Baxter, and have been for a long time (I particularly enjoyed his NASA Trilogy and the Time's Tapestry series). This is a remarkable work, suggesting that a group of prehistoric tribes were able to construct walls and dams to prevent the isolation of Great Britain from mainland Europe after the last Ice Age, as the seas deepened.
Yes, it requires the suspension of disbellief. But his characters are wonderfully complex and terrifically drawn, his knowledge of the prehistoric area is superb and lends an air of authenticity to the tale that others fail to grasp or use.
It left me panting for the sequel, whch is next up on my bookshelf. A great read, wonderfully told.

5,0 de 5 estrellas Great "Alternative History".
I loved this e-book, could not put my Kindle down. Stephen Baxter has used his scientific and archaeological background, together with his Arthur C Clarke collaboration influences, to bring us a wonderful story. He manages to make us care about the fate of characters from prehistory, faced with the possible destruction of their environment by - yes - Climate Change. This is a cutting-edge story by someone at the top of their game. I await further books in this milieu, with great anticipation.

4,0 de 5 estrellas Stone Spring
The first book of a trilogy. It starts well, with a look at a Europe of 10.000 years ago, when Britain was still attached to the rest of Europe and the Doggerland was above the sea.
A beautiful country where people lived in communion with nature. Etxelur people, with a three rings tattoo, symbol of their country.
Other people appear in the story, from the people living in America, thanks to a travel with a boat over the ocean, close to the still existing ice of the Ice Age still rampant.
The snailheads, people who modified their head elongating it, the Pretani, hunters of the woods, all fascinating and different people.
And the main character, Ana, daughter of Kirike, the man who travelled to America and brought back Ice Dreamer, the last of her people, the people with fluted spears.
And Zesi, her sister, willful and aggressive, who will cause much grief, even if unwilling.
And a boy from Jericho, Novu, who will change forever the Extelur with his knowledge of buildings and bricks.
A strange world which could have been. A fascinating story of love and hate and war and peace.
The second part of the book is surely better, as soon as the tale picks up the pace, and the new world comes into existence.
Read it, it may not appeal to everybody, after all it starts quite slowly, but just the second part is worth it.

4,0 de 5 estrellas Great story ...
A very good book, well written. The premises are intriguing, and although the book started slowly and not entirely in the style I was expecting, it quickly developed into a great story, interleaving several characters and stories in a fascinating yarn. I have since read Book 2 of this series, and am currently going through Book 3.
