New Springtime
Robert Silverberg · 2 novels · 1 novella · 1 short story · 1988–2005
Robert Silverberg's At Winter's End and its sequels are set millions of years after a comet impact drove humanity to near-extinction and buried civilization under a long ice age. A small band of human survivors emerges from an underground sanctuary as the ice finally retreats, only to find a world now dominated by the evolved, intelligent descendants of ordinary animals - vast ant empires, sapient baboon tribes, and other risen species - who see humanity's return as an intrusion rather than a homecoming. The series follows the survivors' attempt to reclaim a place in a world that no longer needs them.
