Fire from the Goddess and the meat and furs of the mammoth are all that the People need to live. It is a harsh life but a good one and it is one that all cherish.
Young Geerna knows that the time has come for her to become a woman and take up the tasks to keep her people safe. She waits in the Awakening Place, fearful and hopeful as her ordeals come to an end. Then, on the eve of her Womanhood, a shining light descends upon her and her world is torn asunder.
And she embarks on a journey that none of her people could ever envision...
Eons have passed. Cycle upon cycle the Way of the People have remain unchanged: women are artists, men are hunters. Geerna's Law is the covenant by which humans live in harmony and peace.
But all is about to change. A call has come for The People to choose their champions, and a summons to meet the mysterious creatures who selected Geerna so long ago.
All is unknown. As the brave souls who are chosen venture forth, they will come to discover just how much that pact that Geerna made so long ago has cost them.
And they will have to confront the choices that might help them to finally know true freedom.

reviewed Elom on May 08, 2009
Elom
First-time author William H. Drinkard's inexperience shows, as "Elom" (Tor, $25.95, 544 pages) is a very long setup with absolutely no payoff whatsoever. The plot is driven by the "judgment" that a group of human beings on a non-earth planet are about to undergo - but after more than 500 pages, it turns out Drinkard had no intention on delivering on the implied promise of his premise.
Instead, we are supposed to be happy that the romantic problems of seven young human beings who have been raised in a primitive society are all going to work out. That's nice, but I didn't sign on to "Elom" to read a very long romance novel with aliens - or an updated "Clan of the Cave Bear" with space travel.
