Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to <b>The Clan of the Cave Bear</b> and its sequel, <b>The Valley of Horses</b>, Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla. <br><br>Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare's colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future. 927520 1985 The Mammoth Hunters (Earth' Children #3) total:6378|5:1668|4:2088|3:1989|2:543|1:90| 6378 23835 7345 225 2 3 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 08:58:46 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 09:00:30 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 2 false false Thu Aug 09 10:08:56 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 10 09:34:33 -0700 2007 The love story in this one starts out strong, and by the time you get half way through, you are so sick of the misunderstandings and hurt feelings that you feel no one could b...more...]]> 3 2 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu Mar 13 09:57:53 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 09:58:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Jun 02 02:19:14 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 02:23:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu Mar 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Feb 02 18:30:12 -0800 2009 Wed Apr 22 20:53:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu Aug 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 11 10:14:56 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 29 07:07:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Jan 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 11:31:25 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 11:45:07 -0800 2009 The Mammoth Hunters is the third book in Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children series.
