The Shadow Hunter - Softcover

A young Neanderthal is transported from the ancient past to a future of brilliant and terrifying possibilities. He brings the spiritual beliefs of his people to this alien world, while maintaining a connection with the earth and the spirits of animals. The clash of prehistoric shamanic traditions with future technology makes for a gripping tale--the first novel written by this Nebula Award--winning author.
