Product Description

Product Description

Dark forces are at work within the realms of earth and sky, and a savage new dance of life and death is about to begin....the internationally acclaimed saga of the First Americans continues in this long-awaited novel from bestseller William Sarabande.

As the Ice Age draws to a close, the men and women living on the northeast coast of the North American continent struggle to adapt to their rapidly changing environment. Ancient cultures clash as warriors battle for vital hunting territories. When a mammoth is seen in a forest, the shaman, who is also brother to the headman, conjures wondrous and terrifying visions for his imperiled band as he goads them to hunt a beast that may be the last of its kind. Although an ancient legend promises death for the People on the day that the last mammoth dies, the shaman counters with a legendary promise of his own--that those who dare hunt, kill, and consume the flesh of the mammoth will be made invincible in battle. The hunt is successful but the headman is killed--and the shaman comes to power and takes possession of his brother's woman and daughter. Although he has no suspicion of his uncle's treachery, the eldest son of the former headman must live with the fear of the charging mammoth that caused him to feign injury rather than risk his own life to save his father's. Now, as the last mammoth walks the land, a young warrior who has lost nearly everything to his enemies must learn new ways, or die in a world where men, women, and even children dare not be less than heroes.


Ingram

"The First Americans" saga continues with the Ice Age coming to a close. While the members of a coastal North American tribe struggle to adapt to their changing environment, ancient cultures clash, warriors battle, and the sighting of a mammoth is an omen of great importance. The shaman conjures strange visions for his band as he goads them to hunt the beast. Dark forces are at work, and a dangerous new dance is about to begin.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dark said I this book was..., Nov 30 2002
By Heather H. "Heather H." (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
I find it very annoying to have to read dialog like this. Add to the fact that the story line is dark, cruel and boring and a tired take off from the rest of this enjoyable series. Really not a good read, don't waste your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, Nov 5 2001
By "jib_ho" (Framingham, MA United States) - See all my reviews
I've read the entire First American series up to this book, I started the series as a filler while I waited for Jean Auel's fifth book to be published (still waiting). The series, so far has been entertaining and has certainly kept my interest. The characters for the most part are well developed and in previous books are even likable in a brutish way. I've enjoyed the spirituality of the series. Time Beyond Beginning, however is a disappointing departure from Sarabande's earlier work. It's as if the characters in this book have regressed through time and become increasingly more loathsome, savage and mean. The plot is boring, dark and depressing. Unlike the earlier works where Torka and Lonit, Cha-kwena and Maree had to endure a harsh climate and overcome many difficulties, including conflicts with several nasty characters there was always an uplifting spiritual quality to their struggle for survival. I had to put this book down along with the rest of the series in search of a more uplifting read. I would not recommend this book.

Had the book been about one third the length, the author might have had a chance of making it go. As it is, it is simply boring. A waste of time.

Sarabande can't write a bad book. Read them all. They just get better and better. Can't wait for the saga to continue.
