The First Taelon--Ma'el

To know Ma'el is to love him. The first Taelon on earth was not anything like the malevolent and dangerous Zo'or. He wanted only good to come of his research of humanity and hid many things from his own Taelon race to protect the future of mankind. Come along on a long journey back through time,with 2 Celtic "Protectors" and Ma'el. Cross by land, sail by merchant ship, and visit new oceans and continents by space ship. Feel the danger of pirates, Roman soldiers, and ancient tribes. Love the adventure, as Ma'el gradually reveals himself and regards humanity unselfishly in his quest for the future of his race. Faye

A true treasure

This book chronicles a part of the life of the ancient Taelon, Ma'el, as he lives in ancient Ireland. Also with him are the distant ancestors of William Boone, a Celtic warrior and a druidess, Declan and Sinead.Ma'el is portrayed precisely how a Taelon should be, mysterious and yet I can see stirrings of understandable emotion in him, such as distaste for human violence. I wonder if Leni Parker's Da'an inspired White (sadly deceased) for Ma'el.Declan is a great deal like Boone, my second favorite character in the book. Sinead seemed slightly less sympathetic to my eyes, but I thought that her glimpses of the future were intriguing, especially her last one. Overall, it gave a wonderful sense of continuity to the series, and gave life and spirit to Ma'el. The writing style was beautiful, almost poetic. You will not be disappointed by this book!
