	Julian May
		Author and editor Julian May is the creator of the Pliocene Exiles and Galactic Milieu series and as such has created such works as The Many Colored Land (nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula awards), The Golden Torc, Intervention, and Jack the Bodiless.
		In 1976 May once again became involved in writing for the adult science fiction genre after attending a science conviction, while May's husband was involved in publishing sci-fi related non-fiction.
		May began work on her Saga of the Pliocene Exhiles, a related series that she imagined would have broader appeal.

	Raven's Reviews: Julian May
		May is a well-regarded fantasy writer and editor, but I have only read one and 1/3 of her books, so I can't give a clear idea of her work overall.
		That may not be her fault, however, because she was writing in a world partially created by other people, which always seems to strain a writer's abilities.
		Three authors (Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton) attempt to write three characters- triplet sisters- on three seperate quests, and the results were frustrating.

	'Perseus Spur' an Uneven Change of Pacing for Julian May
		Julian May is not a writer of space operas so much as a creator of narrative operas set in outer space.
		Just as suspense is not one of May's strongest suits, she further hampers herself in this effort by focusing on Frost, an irascible and curmudgeonly hero on the model of both the Pliocene Exile's disgraced alcoholic pilot Richard Voorhees and the Galactic Milieu's Rogi Remillard.
		May paints this political-economic framework with the painstaking detail of her more fully developed Galactic Milieu, blending the panoramic sweep of history with the everyday human touch that made that previous work so compelling.

		Jeff Julian, a 39-year-old from Norwich, Vt., remained two shots off the lead on Friday after play was suspended because of darkness.
		Julian's 5-under-par 66 gave him a two-day total of 135 (-7) and tied him with six others for fourth place.
		Julian had a chance to be even closer to the lead had he not gone through such an adventure on No. 17.

	Cybamuse Independent Book Reviews - Science Fiction: Julian May
		As with her Galactic Milieu series, May puts her incredible knowledge of parts of planet Earth to good use, creating marvelous images of Toronto and city life in the future.
		May continues in the lighter tone she developed in Perseus Spur.
		May is compelling from the start by revealing the agonising of Marc as he worries about how to reslove some glitches in his CE equipment and the brewing opposition from the milieu.

	Julian Day Numbers
		Julian Day Numbers, or the Julian Date (JD), is the absolute count of days that have elapsed since Noon 1 January 4713 BC on the Julian Calendar, or on what may more strictly be called the Julian "Proleptic" Calendar, meaning the Julian Calendar as applied to an era prior to its actual use.
		The "Scalinger Year" is thus one less than the year of the Julian Period, and may be obtained by adding 4712 instead of 4713 to the year of the AD era.
		1677 is then multipled by the number of days in four Julian years, 1461, and 1 is multiplied by the number of days in a common Julian year, 365.

		May concludes the Galactic Milieu trilogy, which is a prequel to the multivolume Saga of Pliocene Exile that describes the absorption of the human race into a union of civilized metapsychic races.
		I read Julian May's Pliocene Exile books long ago, and though I loved them, I confess I was a bit baffled by all the references to the rebellion, and to characters like Diamond Mask and Jack the Bodiless.

	Julian May - What is your opinion of her? - sffworld.com
		My opinion of Julian May at this stage is that she is a very good writer.
		I agree Belgarion, Julian May does seem to a neglected author, and her Saga of the Exiles is brilliant IMHO, and believe me, it only gets better with the other books.
		Her stuff may be more SF, but it says something for her writing that I liked her works so much, as I find most SF difficult to get into.

		I still very much enjoyed May's characters-- but somehow they lacked the soul that I was used to from her earlier works.
		Still, May is one of the best in the business, and she creates a fascinating, creative universe in Intervention-- the beginnings of the Galactic Milieu.
		Long before George Lucas thought of making a prequel to Star wars, Julian May revisited the universe of her Pliocene Exile to tell us the origins of the story, though with a time line like this, the word origin is meaningless.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: The Many-Colored Land / Julian May
		Briefly, May's triumphs here include a tremendously original premise; fast-paced storytelling that defies predictability; and a sympathetic and well-rendered cast of characters who hold your attention throughout this whole high adventure.
		Now as the book nears its end, it probably isn't surprising that May kind of lets it get away from her.
		Sometimes, it seems as if she has things moving just too fast; there's quite a lot to take in here, and May doesn't go easy on the lazy reader, who could feel bulldozed by it all.

		It is a throne, however, that he could not continue to hold if more than a loyal few knew about his secret spark of magical talent, for the laws of High Blenholme forbid wizards to sit on the throne (except in Moss, where it is encouraged).
		All of his children by his current wife show signs of magical talent, though in the youngest, it is so insignificant that it may yet go unnoticed.

		If you have previously read Julian May's brilliant 'Saga of the Exiles', or even if you have just read my Op on it, then you may know that there is much more to the story than just the first four books, 'The Many-Coloured Land', 'The Golden Torc', 'The Nonborn King' and 'The Adversary'.
		While the 'Saga of the Exiles' is an excellent fantasy/Sci-Fi story that can be happily read on its own, it does leave quite a few storylines open, both in the Beginning and in the End - and for anyone eager to find out the truth, 'Intervention' is the next step in the line.

		It felt rushed and I got the impression that May had just scribbled anything to get it out of the way because she'd got bored and wanted to move onto the next project.
		The writing was generally competent, but it almost collpsed towards the end - the last 50-100 pages were filled with inconsistencies, badly written dialogue and other problems.
		It's also obvious that May doesn't know the difference between the words "chivalry" and "cavalry", which is disappointing in an otherwise good author.
