Resumen del Editor

The first entry in a new series with three big, all new linked novellas from multiple best-sellers Harry Turtledove, John Ringo and Jody Lynn Nye, S.M. Stirling, and Michael Z. Williamson!

After the extinction asteroid doesn't strike Earth, the dinosaurs keep evolving... but so do the mammals. We mammals have achieved human-like shapes, but now it's cold-blooded, magic-using reptiles against the hot-blooded, hot-tempered descendants of cats.

In a heroic, bronze-age world similar to 300, the Mrem Clan of the Claw and its sister warbands are expanding their rough-and-tumble territory, but now they face the Lishkash, masters of a cold-blooded empire of slave armies and magic. It's mammalian courage and adaptation against reptile cunning in a clash of steel and will that will determine which line shall inherit the Earth.

Wanted to love it

This collection of novellas had an interesting premise; the dinosaurs were never wiped out and instead evolved into powerful intelligent beings with mental powers they refered to as magic. On the other side of the spectrum cats also evolved into a tribal society with their own much weaker mental powers. Of course both of these different species hate and loathe each other and the stories presented here are about battles and other conflicts between the two. I did finish all the novellas and there good times to be had, however, there is little to no cohesive connections between each respective story, and each author put their own personalized spin on each character introduced, making it difficult for me to relate or even enjoy the struggles depicted. Also the narrator was incredibly bland with almost no distinguishing characteristics between the protagonist and antagonists. I recommend passing on this one.

ummm... no

What would have made Exiled better?

What would have made Exile better? Anything. While I love Ringo and Stirling is okay this book was a disaster from the first word.

Stirling and Ringo one book

Stirling and Ringo in one book i think i just wet myself abit that made it a must buy for me you should read both of their work i honestly had a blast playing this on my Ipod

A must for anthology fans

The book is a multi collarbation between top sci-fi and alt-history writers has they creat a world after the last ice age but one where the asteroid that killed off the dinosaur never happened from this two diffrent species rose instead humanity they where the feline species became Murm and Lizard-dinos' who became Lizakes but changed brought higher mentally ability that becomes there magic powers in a qusai-fantasy/primal world.

The story was a gem that can't belief isn't talked about more the diversity and complexity in world building and story talents from the author made me fell truly for tge chacthers holding till the every end.
