Shortlisted for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award (1971-1991) (1973).

Thomas Burnett Swann's novels dealt not with the far future, but with the enigma of the past. Prior to the dawn of human history, the Earth did not belong solely to humanity -- there were other intelligent species still fighting a last-stand battle against extinction. Remembered today only in legend, these are creatures of the trees and water, beings that combined beast and man, with strange lore of their own and sciences lost to the human victors. GREEN PHOENIX is a tour de force of the final stronghold of the prehumans against the last legion of fallen Troy.
