An essential book for Julian May It has to be asked - is it necessary to add this book to your shelf? Do you really need another 'Readers Guide' type book? Well, if you're a fan of Julian May's sprawing 'Galactic Milieu' series, (a page-turning & adventurous retelling of 'Paradise Lost' long before Phillip Pullman thought to do it) and a member of the Julian May discussion group like I am, then the answer is a resounding "you bet!" Alright, so it only covers the 'Exiles' part of the series (this book really needs an update) but the glossary is quite useful even if some of the entries are short, and the three interviews with the author are worth the price of the book by itself.
