Julian May: Author par Excellence
by Dianne Lehmann

I've just finished re-reading a couple of books by Julian May. The books have the general title of "Intervention" and were published as two separate volumes titled "Surveillance" (1987) and "Metaconcert" (1987). May is also the author of "The Saga of the Pliocene Exile" series. There is a very good chance that I shall re-read that very soon.... (posted by Dianne 2 days 18 hours ago.)
