The Mammoth Slayers: The Last Neanderthal

There are seven books in the Mammoth Slayer series, this is the fourth.

As last we left the clan, several members were still living, but clan leader Braum had just died. On the same day he died, a baby was born to Hunter, Braum’s grandson. Before closing his eyes in death, Braum saw and held the baby. He asked Hunter what he was naming the child and Hunter said he was naming the baby after him and the child would also be called Braum.

Since there are no other Neanderthals anywhere near them, the clan is slowly dying out. The story then jumps ahead to when Braum is twenty-years old and long past the time he should have been married. Because of this, he and his father decide to try and retrace their clan’s route that brought them across the land bridge to what one day would be America. They want to return to the land of their fathers so Braum can find a wife if any Neanderthals are still alive. It will be a long, dangerous and arduous journey, but the men have no other choice. They do not know if they can make it, or even if they can find their ancestral home. If they do, what will they find? We will soon find out in this great adventure of the Mammoth Slayers.
