From the Publisher

Panoramic, authentic, explosively dramatic--this is the breathtaking new series The First Americans, which began with Book I, Beyond The Sea Of Ice. Now the heroic great hunter Torka, his woman Lonit, and his adopted son Karana emerge from a land forbidden to all men, a land where mountains walk and spirits speak. Across the fierce glacial tundra Torka leads his people--survivors of a horrifying natural disaster--to a winter camp where many bands gather to hunt the great mammoth. There he and his followers encounter an evil more dangerous than the wild lands--the magic man called Navahlk, who vows cruel destruction of the bold hunter Torka. To survive they must draw upon the courage of one brave boy who will grow to manhood and see with his mind's eye where the sun's light has led them--to the dawn of man on the American continent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling!, December 5, 1999

By	"brooklyn71" (Florida) - See all my reviews

I picked up this book along with the first in the series, "Beyond the Sea of Ice" never having heard of the series or the author, in a used book store. I have never in my life been so pleasantly surprised as I have been by these two books. "Corridor of Storms" kept me up every night for a week at least an hour past my usual bedtime; I was so enthralled by the wonderful characters. Anything can and does happen in William Sarabande's vividly animated land of ice and precarious survival. The author is not the least bit afraid to take chances and write out characters in sudden and shocking situations, which keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, never taking any character for granted. I have grown very fond of Torka and his woman Lonit, who had very realistic attraction for the fatally charming Navahk. All characters are true to life, with very human flaws and conflicting emotions. More than anything else, this book has shown with striking clarity what a tenuous grip all human beings had on their very existence in the age of ice. Before I had even finished with "Corridor of Storms", I made another trip to the used book store and stocked up on the next six volumes, eagerly anticipating the rest of the saga.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great read!..., November 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Corridor of Storms (Audio Cassette)

It's wonderful when an author can create a sequel that's just as good as the first book in a series. This is one of those occasions. This book picks up where the first left off and thankfully is just as good. Like the first book, this story is full of drama, adventure, and excitement. The characters grow as they learn from their experiences, and new characters add more interest and plot twists. I'd recommend this book -- even if you don't typically read this type of fiction. It's that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPELLBINDING!!!!!!!!, April 17, 1999

By	[e-mail] (mississippi) - See all my reviews

I have just finished this book and the first in the series as well. They are totally engrossing. What an author to involve the reader as much as Sarabande can!!! I am a faithful reader of Mz. Auel's earthchildren and I have enjoyed these as well. Now I can't wait to start the next in the series!!! This is such a nice diversion waiting for the next Jean Auel novel to come out. I never even knew these wonderful books were out there but now that I have found them I can't wait to finish the series!!! A MUST READ!!!
