From dust jacket: ...In the first two volumes, Isle of Woman and Shame of Man, Anthony showed us the triumphs and tragedies of two remarkable families, each reborn again and again in some of the most turbulent eras of human history. Now, with Hope of Earth, Anthony adds a new dimension to that story, exploring the ancient origins of our humanity, the traits which make us what we are -- war, passion, love, and art. In a stirring, captivating saga that ranges from our ancient beginnings in Africa’s Great Rift Valley to the windswent Andes a century from now, Hope of Earth tells the inspiring story of a group of heroic men and women, bound by ties of passion, honor, and bold, who struggle to transcend our violent past to make a new and shining future.
