No ratings yet

A heroic tale of perseverance, bravery, loss, betrayal, and redemption... The Yaakmen of Tyrie is an epic science fiction adventure like no other... set on a harsh alien world where men's lives span only ten or eleven long years and double moons draw eerie shadows over vast mountainous landscapes laden with horrific natural dangers. Quintar is a natural-born leader of men. Thrust suddenly into politics by the Supreme Yaakleader Carathis, he emerges as the people's reluctant champion following a brutal winter partnering with the giant hairy bipeds bravely defending Tyrie's settlements from an invasion of monstrous snow-creatures. But Quintar realizes his true destiny only after he stumbles upon a wrecked metal structure while hunting in the high mountains. Encouraged by the scholars of Adair and inspired by sketchy reports of uncontacted outsiders living beyond Tyrie's borders, Quintar volunteers to lead a small but colorful group of companions on a harrowing journey into the unknown wilderness on a quest to unravel Tyrie's greatest mystery.
