Kim Stanley Robinson: Shaman (Paperback, 2014, imusti, Orbit)

engrossing historical fiction

KSR always writes compelling science fiction; this is a bit of a departure — it’s historical fiction set in the Neolithic period in France, about a shaman’s apprentice in a time when early humans live alongside Neanderthals, and mammoth, rhinoceros, bison, lions, leopards and other now-extinct animals are a constant presence.
