The books plot is similar in key ways to ... Jean M. Auels The Clan of the Cave Bear--Kirkus ReviewsBorn in the harsh world of East Africa 1.8 million years ago, where hunger, death, and predation are a normal part of daily life, Lucy and her band of early humans struggle to survive. It is a time in history when they are relentlessly annihilated by predators, nature, their own people, and the next iteration of man. To make it worse, Lucys band hates her. She is their leaders new mate and they dont understand her odd actions, dont like her strange looks, and dont trust her past. To survive, she cobbles together an unusual alliance with an orphaned child, a beleaguered protodog whos lost his pack, and a man who was supposed to be dead.Born in a Treacherous Time is prehistoric fiction written in the spirit of Jean Auel. Lucy is tenacious and inventive no matter the danger, unrelenting in her stubbornness to provide a future for her child, with a foresight you wouldnt think existed in earliest man. Youll close this book understanding why man not only survived our wild beginnings but thrived, ultimately to become who we are today.This is a spin-off of To Hunt a Subs Lucy (the ancient female who mentored the female protagonist).Murrays lean prose is steeped in the characters brutal worldview, which lends a delightful otherness to the narration ...The books plot is similar in key ways to other works in the genre, particularly Jean M. Auels The Clan of the Cave Bear. However, Murray weaves a taut, compelling narrative, building her story on timeless human concerns of survival, acceptance, and fear of the unknown. Even if readers have a general sense of where the plot is going, theyll still find the specific twists and revelations to be highly entertaining throughout. A well-executed tale of early man.--Kirkus Reviews
