After a strange bloodstone amulet is found in an ancient Arabian tomb by archaeologists, the native employees of the expedition attack the others when they refuse to leave. One of the archaeologists, Lance Vidor, seeks refuge in the tomb, where he is transported to a different point in the time circle of Earth. Vidor finds others who have been summoned to the time period for the purpose of saving the Earth from an oncoming comet.
P. Schuyler Miller, calling Bond a "born storyteller," declared the novel "may be corn to the elect, but it will probably be more like corn squeezins to the neophytes."1 Fanzine reviewer Thomas A. Carter found Exiles to be "an absorbing adventure fantasy."2
