This is a spellbinding tale woven of equal parts epic and myth - with a liberal dash of hard science fiction.
When a one-way time tunnel to Earth’s distant past, specifically six million B.C., was discovered by folks on the Galactic Milieu, every misfit for light-years around hurried to pass through it. Each sought his own brand of happiness. But none could have guessed what awaited them. Not even in a million years.
In the early 22nd century, many humans are being born with psychic powers and are linked in a single galactic mind. Those without these psychic powers - the misfits, undesirables, criminals, and radicals - have a choice: mental reprogramming or exile. Exile, voluntary or otherwise, takes them back six million years, to a time between the extinction of dinosaurs and the rise of Homo sapiens, and to a time of exotic surprises and unknown dangers.
Julian May lives in Washington state and has been writing science fiction and fantasy for more than 30 years.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Many-Colored Land to be better than the print version?
Narrator did a really nice job, enabling the listener to be immersed into the story. I heard the eKindle version may have had typos, the Audio version we well worth it.What does Bernadette Dunne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I liked the way she told the story. You could tell who was speaking in the book by the way the Narrator changed positions (tones, speech patterns, etc).I actually played it at 1.5 speed, the story line was so good, i wanted more, and faster. Even at higher speed, the Narrator did a great job.
Fantastic SciFi book. Highly recommended

It's a 3.5, but that's not really fair...

I think it would of been much harder to get into if I hadn't already known the story, there's a lot of detail.
I enjoyed it a lot, though had a couple of issues with the narration. As mentioned by another reviewer, the constant mistake of metapsychic instead of metaphysic seemed amateurish, and the forced 'crackles' in the voice of older characters downright annoying. The natural voice of narrator would of been better.
I'm really hoping the other books get turned into audio books, and even with the niggles, thoroughly enjoyed listening.
Love the book

Any additional comments?
I've read and reread this series, so I know I love the story. Unfortunately the performer was not up to the task. She sounded robotic. Characters were difficult to differentiate, and there were mispronunciations throughout. I couldn't listen to the end - I bought the Kindle version to finish instead.Love the book, not the reader
