A saga about the earthly world, which has taken a different path in its development than it has followed so far. The global catastrophe, due to which giant lizards became extinct on the planet, bypassed the Earth, and reptiles, having acquired intelligence in the process of evolution, created their own civilization, not at all similar to the human one. Cities grown from seeds, matriarchy, hive minds, genetically rebuilt animals... And the world of people opposing them is alien, hostile and aggressive. Who will survive the constant battles – people or the Yilane’, as the reptilian race is called in the language of this world? Who owns the future? Harry Harrison's trilogy is a recognized classic of the genre and has countless admirers around the world. The publication is illustrated by the works of the English artist Bill Sanderson.
