Book Description
In West of Eden and Winter in Eden, master novelist Harry Harrison broke new ground with his most ambitious project ever. He brought to vivid life the world as it might have been, where dinosaurs survived, where their intelligent descendants, the Yilanè, challenged humans for mastery of the Earth, and where the human Kerrick, a young hunter of the Tanu tribe, grew among the dinosaurs and rose to become their most feared enemy.
Now, in Return to Eden, Harrison brings the epic trilogy to a stunning conclusion. After Kerrick rescues his people from the warlike Yilanè, they find a safe haven on an island and there begin to rebuild their shattered lives. But with fierce predators stalking the forests, how long can these unarmed human outcasts hope to survive?
And, of course, Kerrick cannot forget Vaintè, his implacable Yilanè enemy. She's been cast out from her kind, under sentence of death, but how long will her banishment last? For her strange attraction to Kerrick has turned into a hatred even more powerful than her instincts -- an obsession that compels her to hunt down Kerrick and kill him....

Great Ending.......2003-10-28
Great ending.......2003-10-24
Alternative history at it's best.......2002-04-10
The relationships between the Yilane(dinosaur) and Tanu (human)are almost as good as the Lizard/Human relations in Harry Turtledoves' World War series. The story is much richer simply because there are not as many story lines as Turtledove keeps going.
A really good read but I think only available in pricey trade paperback. I was able to easily find all 3 in used shops with very little trouble.
Immersive writing.......2002-03-30
More Sequelitis.......2002-02-21
Return to Eden is by no means a bad book. It is, like every Harrison work, an enjoyable read that holds the attention well. Unfortunately, it accomplishes almost nothing. When the book ends, all is pretty much the same as it was at the end of Winter in Eden. Humans and Yilane continue to live separate lives, trying to avoid each other as much as possible. There are hints early on in the book that we might be about to see a revolution in Yilane society, with the Daughters of Life on the verge of making a philosophical breakthrough and proselytizing male as well as female young (why else spend so much time showing how a male Yilane can develop into a mature individual if freed from the harem?). But nothing comes of it, nor does anything of significance come from Kerrick's resolution to break with his Yilane past. Return to Eden is a pleasant read, but anyone looking to experience the magic of West of Eden will be disappointed.

Return To Eden
Dean Harrison Manufacturer: Dean Harrison ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 096650870X |
Book Description
Return To Eden is a safari in which there is a beginning, but no visible end. It is a look from the eyes of animals, not from the perspective of man, a world where instiincts rule and good feelings are a result of good principles learned, understood and practiced for a life time. It is the opportunity to crossover into the wild and learn the lessons of survival in decision making in our own lives. It is a chance to leave our humanity and enlarge our scope of thinking to find out who we really are.Customer Reviews:
Out of Africa to your bookshelf.......2002-02-09
Unlike many biologists he is not afraid to give recognition to the higher intelligence and emotional lives of the animals, even their spiritual lives, since animals cleary possess these attributes whether bioligists are willing to admit it or not. My only complaint is that I think he goes too far in trying to fit animal behavior into models of human behavior, even devoting a couple of chapters to this later in the book. Lions and tigers don't live by all the same rules as humans and one can only go so far in trying to fit them into a common model.
The photography in the book is excellent, and if you love animals, this will make a great addition to your bookshelf. I also recommend visiting Out of Africa park if you're ever in the Phoenix area.

The Best Book Ever Written!!!.......2001-12-16
No sooner does Jilly arrive, then Greg and Jilly meet out in the stables at night and cheat on Stephanie. Awhile later, Greg arranges for the three of them to go on a crocodile hunt. When the biggest gator in the swamp, named Gindy Baru, approaches their boat, Greg shoves Stephanie overboard, and because she can't swim she is pulled under by the croc as Greg and Jilly watch. Even though she is shocked by what Greg has done Jilly decides not to report him to the police.
Unbeknownst to Greg and Jilly, Stephanie has survived the attack, and is dying on an island in the midst of the swamp. Luckily for her, a hermit named Dave is passing by and rescues her from the approaching crocs. After taking her to his house he nurses her back to health and when she tells him she can't remember who she is, he gives her the new name Tara Welles. Finally, when she is well enough to go out on her own, he gives her his valuable collection of opals and gets her aboard a bus headed for Townsville.
When she arrives, her memory slowly returns and she decides she must have a grand revenge against Greg. She cashes the opals at a pawn shop, and still being horribly scared she goes to a renowned plastic surgeon who owns a clinic on Orpheus Island. Once there, she meets the owner, Dr. Dan, and she begins her treatments. She also takes a liking to Dan and she becomes his favorite patient. Even when the liking for one another begins to grown into a romance neither of them say anything. Finally after numerous surgeries Tara has become a different woman. She is thinner, prettier, looks ten years younger, and has lost a lot of weight from eating the island's nutritious food. When she is fully recovered from the surgeries she decides to leave the island, even though Dan encouragers her to stay.
Using her last bit of money, Tara buys a rundown, roach-infested apartment to live in. One night, she gets the urge to see her former home so bad she takes the trip and runs into a servant leaving the home. When he doesn't recognize her, it gives Tara more confidence then ever that neither will Greg. Just as she is leaving she sees Jilly approach the house to meet Greg. She then realizes that Jilly is also involved and beings to plot a way to wreak vengeance on both Greg and her former best friend. A few weeks later, Tara hears that Joanna Randall, the owner of the largest fashion agency in Sydney needs an older model for their new clothing line for older women. Tara walks in and gets the job immediately. She becomes a huge success, buys a new apartment in Sydney, and meets Greg at a charity fund-raiser. Not realizing who she is he is immediately taken by her and dumps Jilly for her, all the while pretending to still be interested in her. After Greg and Tara go out several times, Jilly confronts Tara to find out if anything is going on. Tara denies it and soon she and Jilly are close friends.
However, when Greg invites Tara to spend the weekend with him, Jilly shows up drunk and "chases" Tara off. Actually, Tara leaves of her own will to get Greg furious with Jilly. It works. No sooner has Tara left, then Greg and Jilly attack each other. In the meantime, Dan who now realizes how much he does love Tara finds her and begs her to marry him. She also wants him, buy knows it will spoil her revenge, so she refuses and leaves Dan broken hearted. A few days later, Tara calls Greg, pretending to be upset about the incident with Jilly and convinces him to take her someplace where they can be alone. Soon plans are made for the couple to return to Eden.
Jilly, still believing that Greg loves her, divorces Phillip. No sooner has she has done this, then she receives a call from Tara. She is at the airport with Greg and they are flying out to Eden. Tara's plan works and Jilly, frantic and having nowhere to go, rushes to the airport and buys her own ticket. Out at Eden, Tara pretends to be having a wonderful time with Greg. Katie, Eden's housekeeper, uncovers Tara's secret but says nothing. Now all Tara has to do is wait for Jilly to arrive and everything is in it's place for her revenge to play out.
I won't give away the ending of the book, but I will promise you it is easily the most suspenseful one ever written. I know this book is out of print and hard to find, but you still should try to track down a copy. I promise you won't regret it!!! :-)
The Ideal Revenge.......2000-10-17
But Greg doesn't count on Stephanie's survival skills, nor the revenge of a woman scorned. After being pulled out of the crocodile swamp and nursed back to health by an old hermit, Stephanie makes her way to a private clinic where she undergoes plastic surgery to completely change her appearance. Armed with her new visage as Tara Welles, Stephanie starts to exact her revenge.
Highy readable with not much brainpower involved. A great one for a rainy day on the sofa.

Book Description
Using the simple analogy of earth being GodÂ's garden, and the people His desired harvest, and His divine desire to bring us back into His New Garden of Eden.GodÂ's Garden on Earth Today, shows in a simple to understand format, how God is still at work today in the believerÂ's life, even if they fail to recognize that fact.
Written in a unique, yet simple style that the average reader can understand the basic truths of GodÂ's Word, and how it still relates to our world today.
God has always had a plan, and the desire to return His children back to His Garden, and restore that personal relationship He had with man before the fall, and his removal from the Garden of Eden.
Using simple analogies, parables and metaphors help expose the similarities between the first marriage of Adam and Eve in the garden, and the Bride (Church) who is awaiting her soon coming Groom,(Jesus) and our upcoming marriage on His arrival.
