I agree about Iain M Banks as well.
Whilst perusing the list it reminded me of a book I read years ago which I would love to read again and I cannot remember the author or title.
I got it from my local library and they were no help as they don't keep borrowing lists going back a few years.
If any one recognises the story I sure would like to read it again...
It went something like this I think...
Some Air Force Pilot and a few scientists are transported back through time by some sort of ring artefact in the sky and they end up in an alternate Earth where Neanderthal, Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens and other early progenitors are all alive and in a vicious war of survival.
Ring any bells with anyone?
Cheers
