Product Description

Product Description

Thousands of years ago, small hunting bands crossed the fragile land bridge linking the Eurasian continent to the Americas and discovered a land untouched by humankind. Over the centuries that followed, their descendents spread throughout this land. Bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear bring the stories of these first North Americans to life in this magnificent, multi-volume saga. Set five thousand years ago and ranging through what is now Montana, Wyoming, northern Colorado, and Utah, People of the Earth follows the migration of the Uto-Aztecan people south out of Canada. It is the unforgettable tale of a woman torn between two peoples and two dreams, of the two men who love her and the third who must have her, and of the vision given to the peoples long ago by the spirit of the wolf.

Ingram

At the dawn of agriculture, a young woman is caught between the love of two men who must have her and and the vision given to her people long ago by the spirit of the wolf. Book available. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Once touched by the Dreamer you will never be the same., Oct 9 2000
By A. Tresca - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: People of the Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
The third novel in their series, the Gears introduce us to a different set of people who live in lodges dug into the Earth. Two groups of very different people must learn to work together to fight against a common threat. What's worse, someone is killing their Dreamers -- the people who walk between worlds and can see into the future. An unlikely couple must Dream the new way and lead their peoples into the next age. Once touched by the Power of a Dreamer they will never be the same and neither will you. Once again archaeology and imagination make for a fabulous pre-historic adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars good, Mar 28 2008
By greatedcorn (canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: People of the Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
i've read a few books in this series and i'd have to say that this one's my favourites. I liked the perspectives from which the authors presented their characters. it was a kind of pensive, but not seriously so... meaning that there are little tidbits to think over every now and again but these tidbits are by no means the focus of the book, more a backdrop to the story, and they don't really inspire any intense thought, just more of a lazy sunday afternoon pondering kind of thought. if that makes sense.
i thought the story was well put together. there are several plot lines going on at once, which i enjoy because it gets the mind going a bit, but they all tie in to the overall story which is always nice. i liked the character bad belly. he was a reserved kind of guy, not for timidity but kind of for oddness. i thought him and whatever her name was made an ok couple. She could've been stronger, which bugged me at times. i read this a while back so i can't give any examples but i do recall that i wanted her to be stronger at times. though this is so, she wasn't exactly weak. she had an inner strength, it just wasn't as powerful when confronting other people. This was a minor detail though. the plot and characters were well done and the story had a nice flow to it.
overall, worth picking up i'd say.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best I have yet to see from the Gears..., Mar 18 2004
By Chelsea G. Humphrey (Hampton, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People of the Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the first two and even though i thought they were just about exactly alike I still read the third. Mainly because I thought that no way could the Gears end all of their many books the same way plus i had already bought it. I was definitly impressed with this book. The same theory was the basis for the book and intertwined with the other books very well. In this book the characters were swapped...this time we have a female dreamer. The plot for this one is great, and the ending was different which made it great. The characters i thought were better. All around it was great. I would recommend this book to any of the prehistory buffs but not before you read the first two other wise you may have trouble keeping up. And if you read the first two and your like me thinking that the first two were repetive, this one has that twist us, the readers, were looking for in the 2nd book. I will definitly read the next to see what else the Gear's have in store for us, maybe they learned that readers need a few surprises from time to time to keep us coming back for more
