This is the sequel to Island Tribe, and follows the adventures of tribal leader Kori, and her husband the dreamer, Uroh. Twelve years have passed since Kori lead the survivors of the Island tribe away from their remote island community and the superstitions of her people. Kori now has two children, elder son Feroh and younger daughter Meiri. While she enjoys the respect and esteem of her people, other things in Kori's life are not going so well. Kori's handsome husband Uroh, has become emotionally distant, and her son Feroh, has become a trouble-maker.

The sudden arrival of a tall handsome stranger, Werror, exacerbates relations with her husband and son, and causes her question her abilities as chieftainess. Would Werror make a better chief? Overcome with doubts, Kori becomes victim to a cruel betrayal. Can Kori overcome her enemies to save her people?

I really liked Ocean tribe, perhaps even better than Island tribe. Kori is a strong capable woman, and a believable leader. In the sequel, we see her struggle with the issues power brings. Can she be a leader and a parent to? Will her husband understand the sacrifices leadership demands? I particularly like the character of Uroh, her husband. It is rare to find a pacifistic dreamer hero in this type of genre. I like how he is supportive of Kori, even when times are hard. This is a great book. Well worth the investment! I look forward to the sequel.

Charlotte Prentiss is a great writer and I have so enjoyed reading her books. They are the kind of book that keeps your interest and it is so hard to put down.
