Eon describes existence inside a technological marvel, a tubular world, full of strange humans. Olmy is an experienced government operative for the Hexamon. Since it separated from Earth, the Way has had a long history- full of conflict and change. It can connect to alternative worlds, some almost recognizable (see Eternity)
Interestingly, Mr. Bear hypothesizes: what if dissidents left the Way for its antithesis- and homestead a virgin planet? Never be seen again. Would post-modern humans succeed, or be rejected by the planet? Olmy is offered the assignment to find them. He goes, without supplies or weapons- which means living like a native, dependent on the charity of the migrants. Return can be only with a device in the possession of Able Lenk (leader of the migration). Without finding him, it is impossible.
That does not stop settlers from thinking him a judge sent by the Hexamon. They are engaged in civil war. Most would welcome returning to the Way. This is not working as originally planned.
Other reviewers dislike leaving the Way; Olmy will grieve for it. Because they did not bring technology from the Way, we see what ordeals settlers must endure. Lamarkia is a vision of where evolution might have gone on our Earth. This prequel is a fascinating study of humans caught in the tumult of planetary change.
Isn't that what Scify is about?

This prequel to Eon is an interesting introduction to the remarkable world of Lamarkia and its inhabitants. Bear's imagination never seems to diminish. His new world is an interesting concept . His treatment of the human reaction to it is somewhat predictable, but also quite reasonable given humanities previous interactions with new worlds. An unfortunate inclination for violent intercourse and power grubbing seem to follow us wherever we go. Will Lamarkia be any different?

Bear really brings a story to life. A remarkable author writing of a remarkable world. Follow The Way to his world of Lamarkia.

I liked the general plot line of a group of people that had been traveling through space for hundreds of years in search of a new planet inside of an asteroid used for mining operations. I also liked the interactions of the protagonist with his lady friend during their ocean adventure. I also found interesting the subjugation of women once these explorers found their "Eden". Leaving nearly all their technology behind, a sect leaves the asteroid via The Way to an uninhabited planet, where a Lord of the Flies scenario begins to unfold.

If you have the other 2 books in this trio, you must read this one. I bought this book from DRs Books. Received as shown in timely manner from across the country. It was weather-proof wrapped, and came with a nice book marker and a thank you card

You can always count on Greg Bear for well plotted stories, creative writing and inventive ideas. He always holds my interest and this book was no exception.

I thought this book was a SciFi book and I guess it was but it was so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I hope that the next two will be as good.

This was a very interesting book, I couldn't wait to order the next book in the series.

You'll want to read this at least everyday. I found myself confused when I failed to read for a week. Never missed again & found it very enjoyable.
