Commentary Out Of Books People of the Raven (North America's Forgotten Past #12)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a tale of survival and strategy. The People of the Raven are in a subservient relationship with the North Wind People; they provide food and resources whilst the North Wind People provide them with skilfully-produced artefacts. What should be a symbiotic relationship has descended into one that verges on the borders of genocidal warfare - and it is the North Wind People who have the edge!Anyone who comes to the First Americans series has to accept that these

Great book, ranks up with People of the Silence, Lakes, Weeping Eyes, and Thunder. This book is different among all the others I have read by the Gears, it starts off with action immediately and will grip you into the story after the first few chapters. The plot was easy to follow and I didn't trouble remember all the characters the Gears like to introduce into their stories. The story slows a lot mid way through but picks back up with a brilliantly written ending. 4 1/2 stars because I felt the

This was one of the best books of this series. It deals with the fictional setting for the Kennewick Man. The story takes place at a time when the "Caucasian-type" prehistoric North Americans were diminishing and the "Mongoloid-type were expanding. The story is very hard to get into because of the number of characters and the profusion of names like "Windwoman"that may apply to a person or, in this case the wind. Anyone who has read books by the Gears is familiar with this and has to be prepared

i loved the setting, but the Gears pulled out their formula a bit too much for this one. The last book i read by them, 'People of the Masks," was also very formula-apparent. The previous few were more original. Still I think I will continue with this series to see which cultures the Gears will drop me into.

While Kathleen and Michael Gear know their archaeological facts and can tell a good story, they have greatly over populated this particular book. To keep track of the characters, I had to write them down, and try to separate them as to which side they were on. I counted more than 50 named characters before I gave up trying to keep track. The authors would do well not to give names to people who do nothing in the story or may even be dead. In fact, they could just edit some of them right out of

Finally done! I've been cleaning out the books from the last paperback swap I went to. As a rule I love paleo fiction. This book just seemed to on and on. It uses the discovery of Kennewick Man, a caucasoid type skeleton, found in Washington state (Read the book Kennewick Man by Chatters, which I rated 5 stars). Using the premise that there were 2 distinct races competing for the same dwindling resources at the time the Ige Age was receding and ecosystems were in major transition.The book was

I love all of W. Michael and Kathleen's books!
