THE MANY-COLORED LAND (1982)
AcrylicI loved Julian May’s “Pliocene Exile” series, but I never felt like I did the books justice. I remember struggling to come up with dramatic concepts for this, but Del Rey didn’t go for them. 1/3

@MichaelWhelan Hah: I had *not* noticed! Love those books. I'm surprised they're not more well known/appreciated.
