Quite the native Tale Teller,
By bfish@atlantech.net (College Park, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tatham Mound (Paperback)
Anthony, a consummate fantasy bard, steps out into the real world and develops a compelling story from a collection of bones excavated, in part, by his daughter. This story of native Americans meeting the Spanish Conquistadors gives an easy read introduction to this time of dramatic change. With relevant and appropriate detail, Anthony lets the average reader experience the onslaught of the white man from an Indian perspective. At the same time, the reader comes to know a little more about the native American tribes in the South Florida region and learns some of the narratives that must have enriched thier lives. This book is not a research piece, but a fun, lively story which grips the reader with heartwrenching strength through to the foreshadowed cataclismic ending. Both my thumbs were up so high, I had trouble turning pages!

One of my favorites from Piers,
By
This review is from: Tatham Mound (Paperback)
When I first read this book, I was only familiar with Anthony's science fiction and fantasy works, such as the Xanth series and the Incarnations of Immortality, so when I read the blurb and saw the subject matter, I was a bit skeptical. I've read and re-read this book countless times now, and it's become my favorite from Piers.
His usual wit and gift of knowing how to make you care about the characters is there, and I still have to swallow a lump in my throat at times. Even if you've never heard of any of the pre-Seminole Florida tribes, even if you're not a history buff, this is an amazing read. I can't recommend it strongly enough.

My personal favorite!,
By
This review is from: Tatham Mound (Paperback)
Despite my youth, I have done my share of reading over the past several years. In all the novels and stories I have read nothing has come close to beating this one as my number one. I absolutely love this book. It's a creative story and inventive view about life back before technology. With myths and other smaller stories entwined, this book is a hard to put done read. I recommend this book to everyone who asks me, "Know any good books." And all who have read it have told me the same thing. "Thanks for recommending that book. I couldn't put it down. It was a great read." So...if you are looking for a good book...this should be on your list of must reads.
