Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare's colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future. Third in the acclaimed Earth's Children(R) series

True to her characters and their well-researched environments, Auel has delivered another Earths Children masterpiece. She has dropped us into this ice-age saga, filled with passion and sensory drama that is at times breathtaking. The Mammoth Hunters is a mandatory read following Ayla's joining up with Jondalar in The Valley of Horses. Plan on staying up all night to read this page-turner.

Mammoth Hunters
I couldn'r put this book down, I pleaded with the pages to let the suffering end. I felt Ayla's excitment at Ranec's touch. I can't wait to read the next book.
