Shaman: A Novel of the Ice Age

Kim Stanley Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of science fiction masterworks such as the Mars trilogy and 2312, has, on many occasions, imagined our future. Now, in SHAMAN, he brings our past to life as never before.
 
There is Thorn, a shaman himself. He lives to pass down his wisdom and his stories --- to teach those who would follow in his footsteps.
 
There is Heather, the healer who, in many ways, holds the clan together.
 
There is Elga, an outsider and the bringer of change.
 
And then there is Loon, the next shaman, who is determined to find his own path. But in a world so treacherous, that journey is never simple --- and where it may lead is never certain.
 
SHAMAN is a powerful, thrilling and heartbreaking story of one young man's journey into adulthood --- and an awe-inspiring vision of how we lived 30,000 years ago.
