OverviewThe second in the Earth Peoples series, following the widely-acclaimed Moctu and the Mammoth People, a story of love, life, and survival in Ice Age Europe. The People Eaters continues the saga, starting explosively as four separate tribes—two Neanderthal and two Homo sapiens—are in great turmoil. While Moctu, Nuri, and Nindai of the Nerean tribe (Homo sapiens) are visiting their friends and picking up Moctu’s hybrid baby, Elka, at the Krog (Neanderthal) shelter, the feared, warlike and cannibalistic Shiv (Neanderthals) attack. Over the next long struggle, Moctu, Nuri, and the Nereans all learn much about themselves, their friends, and their enemies.

Vivid, smart and surprising.” —Mark McDonald, award-winning New York Times foreign correspondent and author of the Iraq war novel Off the X “Every bit as involving and educational as Jean Auel’s celebrated Clan of the Cave Bear series, and deserves the same degree of acclaim and recognition for its blend of science-based insights and strong characterization and drama.” —Diane Donovan, editor of California Bookwatch and senior reviewer of Midwest Book Review Author InformationNeil Bockoven is an award-winning PhD geologist, journalist and author who earned his doctorate in geoscience from The University of Texas at Austin.
