plinytheolder@sfba.club reviewed Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson
engrossing historical fiction
5 stars
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.
