"Genesis" by Paul Chafe. I'm about four-fifths of the way through it,
liking most aspects including the writing style. But the science-v-
religion aspect is getting pretty heavy-handed, with major violence
against women, so I put it aside for a while. (Okay, I _meant_ to just
read a bit of Bujold to cleanse the palate. But I got sucked in and
read two novels, a novella, and a few high points of a third novel.
I'll get back to it.)
Also a nonfiction called "Catastrophe" which is attributing a lot of
the cultural changes around 500-600 AD to volcano-related climate
change. Like "the year without a summer" after Krakatoa but more
lasting. I haven't decided if I buy it or not.
