Like everyone else who has posted messages on this message board I have read all 5 books many times. I check the internet on a regular basis for news on the sixth book. I live in fear that Jean M Auel will die (or I might die myself) before I get to find out what happens to Ayla, Jondalar and her son Durc. Someone else might finish the book if she died but it would not be the same. I really hope that Ayla and Durc meet again.hoping to be put out of my misery in the next year or so

It's really too bad that Ms. Auel did not do her research on the ancient peoples known as the Mayans, cause if she did, she would know to get her you know what in gear and get the book finished before December 2012!!!

as far as i am concerned Jean Auel doesnt give a hoot about her fans. This is totally unreal, the books are fiction and i dont think anyone would sue her if she wrote a book without all the "involved research". How many years does it take? we will all be dead and buried before she gets her self together and finishes the sixth book, and dont get me started on the seventh book. I know she has lost me and a few of my friends as fans and i will not buy anymore of her books. I mean really, most of the books are nothing but repeats of the books before, herb lore, landscape descriptions.... really who friggin cares? tell the story and get on with it

Just reading past comments about Ayla and her children. At the moment she has a son of mixed blood and a daughter. She has to have another son before her sons can meet and fight each other! Has anybody heard any more about a publishing date?

Based on her last interview with Spanish Media, Ms. Auel stated that there would be a 7th book, but based on the time frames at which she writes her books, she is going to be well past 100 when the 7th book comes out.

I agree, what Crab and Ayla did was take a trip that started from the beginning, going forward into the future, Crab realizes that the Clan will eventually cease to exist, but might be able to continue in a mixed form through Ayla's son Durc. that is why he tells her that Durc is her gift to the Clan. The Zalendoni cave is just shown to show Ayla her future.

I would like to respone to Lindsay's remark on Ayla's seeing the rock formation before. She saw this rock formation at the Clan meeting when she wandered into the area where Creb was conducting the secret rituals. he guided mer mind and his on the same path to see where her future would lead. This is when he realized that the clan as a whole would not be a continuing way of life and that Ayls's would be the ones to take us forward. In their joint adventure they not only see this rock formation but they also see humans "living in boxes and birds flying without flapping wings" I have read all of the books at least once and am listening to them also in audio formatyet again.

Well I hope that Ayla does not clarify conception to the Zeladoni or anyone. As soon as that happens her world will change from women being equal (or more than equal) and the beginning of Male domination....I know that it will happen, I just don't want it to be Ayla that does it. Let the matriarchal sociely live on a little while longer. It is clearly less violent. I hope to see her have more children, become first, be healer extrordinare, and a bridge between clan and others. A few more discoveries would be great...like to see her take a try at making pottery. That would build her estime and help her become first also. I guess I would like to see her lead.
