For Christmas, Josh got me a few new books by William Sarabande. As much as I love to read,
I don't read as often as I should. Always something grabbing my
attention or playing World of Warcraft and just life in general. But
with these new books, I have actually made some time and just finished
one and started another today.
Beyond the Sea of Ice: The First Americans. When humans first
walked the world, when nature ruled the earth and sky, a proud tribe is
threatened by a series of natural disasters. A bold young hunter named
Torka, who lost his wife and child to a killer mammoth, leads the
survivors over the glacial tundra on a desperate eastward odyssey to
the save their clan. Through attacks of savage animals and encounters
with strangers not unlike themselves, they must brave the hardships of
a foreign landscape and learn to live in an exotic new world of mystery
and danger. Toward the land where the sun rises they must travel.Beyond
The Sea Of Ice, toward a new day for their clan--and an awesome future
for the American.
A awesome book for sure. It was a bit slow going in the beginning, but a few chapters in, it really grabs you. I have always been interested in the Indians and have done a lot of history reading on them, but these go back even further. The one thing I found very interesting, is how they would pretty much use every bit of a animal they have killed to live.
The Sacred Stones Book 2 of this series.....Courageous, passionate men and women battle for survival of their clans--in the shadow of the great mammoth who speaks with thunder....
As the massive glaciers fade and the wide seas rise, the warm grasslands of the Americas bring prosperity to the gentle People of the Red World, followers of the Great Ghost Spirit, the White Mammoth. But farther north, where the harsh dry winds howl, another nation, the People of the Watching Star, are enmeshed with legends of an evil shaman and the man-eating monster called the wanawut. Relentlessly they have hunted the mammoth to near extinction. Now, as raiders and ravagers they are coming south to invade the villages of the People of the Red World. The only ones who can prevent the murder of innocents and the final slaughter of the mammoth are a young boy shaman to whom the animals speak, a man whose strength equals his conviction, and a woman who hopes that, beyond violence and cruelty, humankind will recognize a stronger power--the force of love.
Has anyone else been reading these series and if so, what are your thoughts on them????
