Desmond Morris
Heliconia is a planet slightly larger than the earth, has two suns that shine, thousand light years distant of our planet, humans coexist and compete native domain with phagors-planetary beings like the Yeti, but with horns and other features. The plant and animal life is as different as it is in Botanica the same author, a novel recommended where land is invaded by the dominant plant life evolved, not to be missed. In both novels the particularities are delicately made and lead us to wonder at the creative ability of the author. Science fiction can look at people who have ideas. Sparing no resource, or leave loose ends in the construction of society based on the character Yuli and their descendants who will be focused on the social fabric, even in speech as it builds a new language that we will be introduced gradually. Historically, the society is in a stage of religion in its transition to feudal. Many centuries and generations pass.
The cold and darkness gradually receding, hence the title. It is a rebirth, but the past is a terrible burden, relevant, and inevitable cyclical. That Aldiss has requested advice from Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape "invaluable work on the human study anthropology and which has consequences for the way I see humanity," is a clear notion of attention to detail. While this first part of the trilogy the protohombres are present, they are described in too much. He does not hesitate to describe are the viruses that cause changes in animal populations, "bone fever" has nothing to envy to the plague, and is a virus that attacks both phagor and humans.
