Savage Land is the third trilogy about prehistoric man in the series, Man. Vs. Nature.Written in the spirit of Jean Auel, Savage Land explores how two bands of humans survived one of the worst natural disasters in Earth's history, when volcanic eruptions darkened the sky, massive tsunamis crossed the ocean in crushing waves, and raging fires burned the land. Each of the tribes considered themselves apex predators. Neither was. That crown belonged to Nature and she was intent on washing the blight of man from her face. Join me in this three-book fictional exploration of Neanderthals. Be ready for a world nothing like what you thought it would be, filled with clever minds, brilliant acts, and innovative solutions to life-ending problems, all based on real events. At the end of this trilogy, you’ll be proud to call Neanderthals family.

In Badlands, Book Two, the tribes must split up, each independently crossing what Nature has turned into a wasteland. They struggle against starvation, thirst, and desperate enemies more feral than human. If they quit or worse, lose, they will never reunite with their groups or escape the most deadly natural disaster ever faced by our kind.

Such an excellent book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2026
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I’ve really enjoyed this second book about the Savage Land, and also this next beautiful cover. That great and scary mountain is still a big part of the story. All that dreadful fire and ash where these various different tribes are about to move, well, at least most of them.

The main characters are continued in this book. It’s wonderful to see Yu’ung, who’s now the female leader, as well as an excellent healer. My other favourite is, of course, Shanadar with his pack of proto-wolves. It has been a long trek through the different terrains but at the end of this book many people are now by the endless sea.

Highly recommended. I am looking forward to reading the final book about the fascinating Savage Land, and soon.

A New Perspective on Our Neanderthal Ancestors!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2025
Format: Kindle
Jacqui Murray’s Badlands is Book 2 of The Savage Land Trilogy, in which a Neanderthal tribe, aided by a group of proto-wolves, and a Homo sapiens tribe struggle to survive cataclysmic natural disasters, the primary one being a major volcanic eruption. The two tribes also fight each other for dominance as they seek a new dwelling place.

This novel is the second in a trilogy tracing early man’s development, Savage Land. Badlands can be read as a stand alone, although first reading the prior book in the series, Endangered Species, would probably be helpful. (Two other trilogies precede Savage Land.)

I jumped into Badlands in medias res, having never read any prehistoric fiction before. My goal in reading the book was to broaden my reading horizons. Badlands met that goal admirably. The descriptions of the inhospitable landscape the Neanderthals (and all other species) found themselves in were vivid and relatable, as was their day-to-day way of life. My favorite sections of the book were the action sequences, in part because the leader of the Neanderthals, a young woman called Yu’ung, is such a brilliant strategist.

The research is well-incorporated into each scene, which I also enjoyed. Badlands piqued my interest in learning more about early language acquisition and development. The novel also left me very curious about the research methodology used by scientists to come to their conclusions. For any reader who wants to dig deeper into the research, the author provides an extensive bibliography with dates ranging from 1885 through 2024.

In addition, the author provides reading aids, which I found very helpful. These aids include a list of the names of the characters, the species they belong to, and who they are in relation to one or more other characters. (I’ll admit I had some difficulty keeping all the names straight.) Also included is a glossary of terms. The back matter includes a number of substantive discussion questions for book clubs or teachers.

As the Introduction makes clear, Nature is a character who wants to see those-who-walk upright destroyed for the damage they have done to her:

“They didn’t understand the balance of life, that plants, trees, rocks, animal, caves were all interconnected, part of a collective whole.To these who walked upright, nothing mattered except themselves and their needs.”

75,000 years later, nothing has changed between Nature and those-who-walk-upright. The message for me is that nature will reclaim what is hers by whatever violent means necessary. The question facing us is whether we have the same wherewithal as our Neanderthal forebears to ensure our survival.

Once Upon a Time 75,000 Years Ago
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The adventures of Yu’ung continue in this book. Yu’ung is a female Neanderthal and a healer and a leader of her tribe. The world she and her tribe inhabit is threatened by massive volcanic eruptions. The Neanderthals, referred to as The People, as well as the Tall Ones (the Homo Sapiens), and other Uprights (Home Erectus, Denisovans, etc.) are forced to relocate. Yu’ung’s tribe and many other tribes are migrating towards the shoreless sea. Unfortunately, Yu'ung has to leave her tribe as she accompanies an old member of her tribe to meet up with the mountain clan. Both groups are accompanied by smart and loyal canines. There are disasters, unexpected events as well as dangerous enemies along the way.

Like all Jacqui Murray’s novels this novel is very intense, captivating and realistic. Life was harsh back then and the author has a great way of depicting this vividly and realistically. You connect with the characters and their struggle for survival. There is kindness, generosity, heartbreak, cruelty, battles and betrayal. The importance of cooperation and belonging for survival becomes clear and you understand the advantage of everyone having a role and a purpose in the tribe. Jacqui imagines what pre-historic man must have felt and experienced and she does this very skillfully. She has also done her research regarding the way pre-historic man, including Neanderthals, lived and what they were capable of.

The novel features a number of pre-historic dogs or semi-domesticated wolves referred to as Canis, including Ocha, Ragged Ear, Blaze, White Streak and Ump. These Canis cooperate with the Neanderthals in various ways and together they are much stronger. Neanderthals may not have domesticated dogs, and the author admits to using a creative license or narrative license in this regard. However, the Canis adds a lot to the story. Her use of the loyal and smart Canis makes it easier to relate to the pre-historic tribes in the story and it allows her to add interesting plot twists. Somewhat ironically, the Canis adds humanity to the story.

At the end of the book is the first chapter of the next book in the trilogy, Balance of Nature, followed by information about Neanderthals. The beginning of the book features a helpful list and explanation of terms used in the book as well as an explanatory list of the characters in the book, including the Canis. It is a nice habit the author has, which makes it easier to follow along, especially if you forget a character, or did not read the first book.

I loved this book just like I loved the other books written by Jacqui Murray. It is both captivating and interesting and it makes you think about all those millions of pre-historic humans who came before us long ago. Our modern civilization has existed for such a very short time, and it is easy to forget how privileged we are. I believe you can read this book standalone without getting confused, but it is better if you have already read the first book in the series (Endangered Species). I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in adventure.
