Plot summary As the story opens the second generation of Avalon s colonists are coming of age, and the potential for teenage rebellion has never been so strong. The original colonists the Earth born , although selected for optimal physical and mental attributes, suffered varying levels of brain damage due to the unforeseen effects of long periods of chemically and temperature induced hibernation necessary to survive the long journey to Avalon. Their children the star born have no such disability instead, they are geniuses with feeble minded parents. The Grendel Wars in which the Earth Born s short sightedness nearly led to their extermination are still fresh in their minds. The battle proven yet impaired elders preach a dogma of zealous caution which might have once tried their own patience the brilliant and arrogant Star Born deem it cowardice and tyranny. Adding to the strain are those who made the journey to Avalon as cargo the Bottle Babies , embryos grown in artificial wombs.

Refimprove date April 2010 For the 2005 filmBeowulf & Grendel Infobox Book name Beowulf & Grendel The Truth Behind England s Oldest Legend image image caption author John Grigsby country England language English language English genre Non Fiction publisher Watkins Sterling Publishers, distributer release date 2005 reprint 2006 isbn ISBN 978 1 84293 153 0 br ISBN 1 84293 153 9 oclc 61177107 In Beowulf & Grendel The Truth Behind England s Oldest Legend 2005 , John Grigsby interprets Beowulf as the recounting in poetic form of a religious conflict between two pagan cults in Denmark around small AD small 500 p. 5 . Grigsby argues that the poem reflects the violent ending of the Mother goddess native fertility religion of Nerthus . As summarized in the course of a film review in The Independent Grigsby sees the work as a poetic account of forceful suppression of an older fertility cult, with human sacrifice central to its religion, in 5th century England, and its replacement by an incoming warrior cult. Grendel stands for a vibrant English pagan religion as rich and complex as that of the early Celts. Grendel s mother represents the outgoing fertility goddess in whose sacred Danish lakes, Tacitus recorded, human victims were drowned. ref http www.independent.co.uk arts entertainment films features beowulf a her for our times 399739.html ref References Reflist Category 2005 books Category English heroic legends Category Norse mythology Category Beowulf legend Category Novels set in Anglo Saxon England ... more details
