5.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly stirring Ghost Rider drama, January 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sundance (The Ghost Rider, Book 3) (Paperback)

Of the four Ghost Rider books, I liked this one the best. I'll agree with the previous reviewer that this one was depressing, so I recommend that you have book 4 ("Thunder Voice") ready to read when you finish book 3 just to lift your spirits. However, please do not skip this one because of the unhappy nature of the plot.

This is the best mystery of the series. Sam Keaton must figure out why there is a dead man in his sheriff's office, a tradegy stricken expedition, and a massacre of women and children. The plot adds more great characters, reintroduces old favorites, and twists along to the end conclusion.

What makes this book great is the struggles of the hero. Sam must deal with the guilt of his actions and his failed responsibility to others. In addition, he has a very realistic battle with alcoholism, a struggle that makes him so much more of a real (imperfect) person. Sam's humanity and the struggles of a real person to find a higher purpose make this the best book of the Ghost Rider series.

Someone wants Marshal Keaton dead. So when an Indian scout is murdered in the Marshal's office, Sam joins a scouting team for the US Military going near the Sioux Territory to find the murderer. The situation grows ugly as the Sioux & military clash as a result of devious betrayal & leads to the masacre of the innocents. Rebecca, the woman Sam loves, is with the Sioux & he resorts to the unthinkable to save her life. When Sam is captured by the Sioux, then Rebecca make the ultimate sacrifice to save Sam's life. Sam, torn and in anguish, must go back to the Sioux to try to prevent the revenge that would come from the Sun Dance of the young warriors. He presents a compelling case to the council of elders & the real criminals are made to pay for their deeds. Through Sam's physical and emotional journeys, he learns that he has some very devoted friends in Lamarie and with God's help he is able to overcome adversity of any magnitude. Such a riveting story that I could not put the book down.
