A Mystery, Spy, Supernatural, Native-American, Spiritual Thriller!,
By W. H. McDonald Jr. "The American Author Assoc... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Murmurings (Paperback)
Although "The Murmurings" took me a while to read (582 pages) it was well spent time and it never lost my interest. Author and story-teller, David Walks-As-Bear, takes the reader into a world of the Pukaskwa Tribe in northern Michigan. He artfully weaves his Native American philosophy, the supernatural, and the spiritual into a masterfully told spy and mystery thriller. The wording and the phrasing is part of the joyful experience of reading the book. He carves out feelings, emotions and observations in his characters and moves us along on a story line that is full of action and suspense.There are lots of bad guys, good guys, people who could be either, along with Chinese spies, Russian agents, Air Force operatives, and our hero a retired Coast Guard Officer who has to deal with making sense out of everything that happens. The action centers around what is on and what is going on Muskrat Island. This book has more than just a great story and plot but offers up lots of insights on people, the environment, and how government agencies work and even a little insight into tribal affairs. I found myself absorbed with Ely Stone the hero and central focus of this tale. I could picture this book becoming an action movie. It has a most unique and unusual plot. This is original, creative thinking that is highly entertaining. It is a must read book. You will find yourself liking the hero of this book. One just wonders how much of the author's own personality and that of Ely Stone are the same. David Walks-As-Bear has created an image of this hero that seems very much alive; like he could almost walk right off the pages into your house. The Military Writer's Society of America (MWSA) gives this book its TOP BOOK RATING of FIVE STARS! I give this book my personal endorsement and highly recommend it for your reading pleasure. It may even, in its own odd way, inspire you and cause you to think. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Exceptional!,
By Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Murmurings (Hardcover)
Ely Stone is not your typical man, nor is the adventure he is about to undertake typical.An Indian by heritage, a warrior by nature, he begins a journey that will tap his courage and shake his being. His past military life has been unique; death and the righting of wrongs had been paramount in his life. His job was one many men would find distasteful, yet a necessary part of the survival of decency in our world, despite the means to achieve it. Now retired, he finds himself caught up in the past of his heritage and finds, despite his objections, that he is the chosen one to lead his people to the next plateau of their existence. In traveling with him, you realize that his entire life has been training for the task before him as he is thrust into being a Special Agent for the Pukaskwa Tribal police and the Tribal pathfinder; a title and a job that Ely desperately wanted to run from, yet he could not escape the inward knowing that indeed this was his purpose for living. We meet Amos, the Tribal Spiritual leader, who helps to guide Ely on his journey; a colorful man, full of tradition and brimming with spirituality of life. We also meet Annette, who wins the heart of our hero and adds just the right amount of tenderness and love to our story. One by one the author adds characters rich in secret identities, cloaked in mystery, each enhancing the already building suspense of the read. As the story goes, the Indians have an island in Lake Michigan, an island that must be used to better the financial situation of the people. However, unknown to them, hidden on this island is something so important that nations have been seeking it for years. Now, the race is on for this object that is shrouded in mystery and you hungrily read on to find out just what this maybe. An object of such importance that nothing or no one will stop those seeking it until it is found. Be forewarned, this is no small read, but don't let the 582 page work scare you. Each page draws you deeper and deeper into the world of those you will not soon forget, and a story that will be etched in your memory forever. The Murmurings, a novel of mystery, a novel of mystic-spiritual power, a novel of love, loyalty,friendship, betrayal, and murder; with a storyline woven so intricately together that is a masterpiece. Highly recommended. Shirley Johnson Senior Reviewer MidWest Book Review 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful
