Super Reader by Blue Tyson  5 Stars
August 30, 2007
This is start of the saga, and it details the early history of the Remillard family with regards to the time period. Rogatien Remillard is used as a point of view character via his memoirs and other activities.
Being human, some use these special powers for their own ends, in hiding, while others want to use them for the good of humanity, while one particular Remillard family problem is a crazed psychopathic killer.
Several alien races have been watching the planet earth for tens of thousands of years, to judge when the humans are mature enough as a species to be admitted to galactic society.
This involves enough of the human race having enhanced mental powers, at an operant, rather than latent level. This is beginning to happen, and pressures are growing.

May delivers again by Onno Koelman (San Rafael, CA) 5 Stars
September 18, 2005
I first read the Pliocene exile saga 15 years ago, and it was my favourite series then. I read it again last year, and couldn't get enough, so I went out and bought all the relevant galactic milieu books.
In this companion to the Exile series, May delivers again. With the same dexterity, vocab and colourful imagination we've come to expect, May tells us the story of Earth's adoption into the galactic milieu from the outsider's perspective (the Milieu).
I highly recommend this title to anyone who read and enjoyed the Pliocene Exiles saga, or the Galactic Milieu trilogy as it is a perfect bridge and will appeal to all of May's fans.
