Product Description
Mesmerizing, dramatic, unsurpasses in scope and suthenticity, this is the fourth exciting volume of the magnificent new series THE FIRST AMERICANS, which began with Beyond the Sea of Ice and continued with Corridor of Storms and Forbidden Land. Following the trek of the woolly mammoth, the great hunter Torka leads a brave band of survivors across the Arctic tundra. But his leadership is threatened from within by a deadly rivalry between the handsome twins Umak and Manaravak for the love of a beautiful, sensual girl, and from without by a mysterious creature called the wanawut, whose howling awakens primitive and terrifying fears. Now, as a firestorm races across the frost-brittle land, Torka and his faithful woman, Lonit, must begin a dangerous odyssey to the home of the wind--a dark and forbidding region from which no human has ever returned.

A drug addict in the Ice Age?,
By Heather H. "Heather H." (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walkers of the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)
This one is a little different that the rest, we are running out of people so how far can this really go? I don't really mind that though, I was getting sick of hearing about the wanawut and the full titles of the first three books anyway.This is the ending book, we are moving on without our familar friends and the one people have now two bands because of a dispute that our hero Torka is too old to reslove. It is sad to see them go, and watching Torka breaking the symbol of the people, but we must follow the herds to the summer breeding grounds.

Very disappointing -,
By A Customer
This review is from: Walkers of the Wind (Mass Market Paperback)
While well-written enough in a technical sense, the story was very disappointing. The story lurches from disaster to disaster and from sexual interlude to sexual interlude. These were apparently intended to be titillating (but failed) and included animal sex, rape (forced bestiality and child-rape) and incest. While some of the characters (such as an old hunter) were well-realized, most of the main characters were little more than cardboard stereotypes pushed into predictable conflicts, such as the Girl on Drugs and then the Sassy Woman Who Wants To Be A Hunter. Characters were alternately primitive and disconcertingly sophisticated. There was very little detail in how day to day life was carried out; not that I would want the story to have bogged down, but more detail would have conveyed the sense that the author actually had done more than the most cursory research on what people had to do to survive.In short, the story was little more than an angsty caveman-style "bodice ripper". Ho-hum.
