Resumen del Editor

The rousing conclusion of an epic trilogy! In West of Eden and Winter in Eden, master novelist Harry Harrison broke new ground with his most ambitious project ever. He brought to vivid life the world as it might have been, where dinosaurs survived, where their intelligent descendants, the Yilane, challenged humans for mastery of the Earth, and where the human Kerrick, a young hunter of the Tanu tribe, grew among the dinosaurs and rose to become their most feared enemy. Now, in Return to Eden, Harrison brings the epic trilogy to a stunning conclusion. After Kerrick rescues his people from the warlike Yilane, they find a safe haven on an island and there begin to rebuild their shattered lives. But with fierce predators stalking the forests, how long can these unarmed human outcasts hope to survive? And, of course, Kerrick cannot forget Vainte, his implacable Yilane enemy. She's been cast out from her kind under sentence of death, but how long will her banishment last? For her strange attraction to Kerrick has turned into a hatred even more powerful than her instincts - an obsession that compels her to hunt down Kerrick and kill him.

A heading is required, last time I do this!

Loved the book, enjoyed the re-run, listening................
20 words is silly 123, why so complicated

You can always be surprised

I stumbled across West of Eden browsing a public library in 2005. I had no idea it was a trilogy until I decided to listen to it on Audible. I've been an avid Sci-fi reader for 40 years & this trilogy ranks up there. I would be very interested to see it adapted to the screen. i flew through all books in a few days. OUTSTANDING

Wonderful conclusion to a fabulous trilogy

Often times shows and books don’t end well (GoT, I’m looking at you,) but Harrison did a fine job with this series. While I’m left with the desire for more, none is necessary and I can feel this alternate reality’s truth.

Here’s The Thing

Although I’m grateful Harrison finished Kerrick’s story, I did get the feeling he’d run out of steam by this 3rd book.

The final story starts with a sorrowful Kerrick reflecting on humanity’s difficult situation - as though our illiterate Stone Age hero was writing his memoirs - but then switches to the present day where things aren’t so bad. Frankly, the story that follows feels like “more of the same “ than an exciting finale. But Harrison does tie up the Trilogy, and it’s not as melancholy as the prologue implied.

The narrator did an excellent job. His nomadic humans sounded solidly matter-of-fact. The intelligent Yilané clever and nonhuman.

Although I gave everything five stars, I actually would have preferred a more conclusive ending. Perhaps Harrison intended to return to Eden but he never did write any more Eden books.

the final bow on a present of a book trilogy

a very bitter sweet end to a very emotional series. the yilane wain into their twilight extinction as the tanu surpass them. the ending is for only those who followed the story of kerik till the end. but I highly recommend this boom to anyone who loves dinosaurs, drama, and cavemen.

Wonderfully Creative

Such a well coordination of flow in story line and characters leaving one always on the edge

disappointing and unsatisfying conclusion

As much as I loved the first two books, this one fell flat. I can't really go into why I found the ending disappointing without spoilers, but suffice it to say a lot of potential was wasted. Most of this book was pointless meandering and only one arc had a satisfying conclusion. Too bad.
