Awesome read… when is the next one?

So…

Narration is pretty much perfect…

I admire prof Alice Roberts and have read most of her non fiction… I was curious to see if she could pull off fiction… she can…

The atmosphere of the ice age people is the best I have ever read… due no doubt to the authors life long study… I am sure this book will aid and inspire many Stone Age reenactors…

It is however more like a “ couple of months in the life of” or, hopefully, prologue to more stories to come…

The end feels like a beginning…
