For a quarter of a million years, the Neanderthal clans survived the harsh environment of Ice Age Europe.  Using Stone Age technology they hunted and raised their generations.  They were a strong, resilient people.  Then, 30,000 years ago, 'new men' entered their world, and in a moment of cosmic time, they were gone.  This is the story of the Neanderthals of the Circle Valleys, and their encounter with the Long Arms.

From Pilot Hill Press:  Richly imagined, deeply researched, Michael Kanaly reaches into the ancient past to bring the Neanderthal world to life. 

THE LONG ARMS asks the provocative question: What does it mean to be human? 

A book of unusual scope and originality, Michael Kanaly has added another unique novel to his body of work.
