Product Description

Courageous, passionate men and women battle for survival of their clans--in the shadow of the great mammoth who speaks with thunder....



As the massive glaciers fade and the wide seas rise, the warm grasslands of the Americas bring prosperity to the gentle People of the Red World, followers of the Great Ghost Spirit, the White Mammoth.  But farther north, where the harsh dry winds howl, another nation, the People of the Watching Star, are enmeshed with legends of an evil shaman and the man-eating monster called the wanawut.  Relentlessly they have hunted the mammoth to near extinction.  Now, as raiders and ravagers they are coming south to invade the villages of the People of the Red World.  The only ones who can prevent the murder of innocents and the final slaughter  of the mammoth are a young boy shaman to whom the animals speak, a man whose strength equals his conviction, and a woman who hopes that, beyond violence and cruelty, humankind will recognize a stronger power--the force of love.

Courageous, passionate men and women battle for survival of their clans--in the shadow of the great mammoth who speaks with thunder....

As the massive glaciers fade and the wide seas rise, the warm grasslands of the Americas bring prosperity to the gentle People of the Red World, followers of the Great Ghost Spirit, the White Mammoth. But farther north, where the harsh dry winds howl, another nation, the People of the Watching Star, are enmeshed with legends of an evil shaman and the man-eating monster called the wanawut. Relentlessly they have hunted the mammoth to near extinction. Now, as raiders and ravagers they are coming south to invade the villages of the People of the Red World. The only ones who can prevent the murder of innocents and the final slaughter of the mammoth are a young boy shaman to whom the animals speak, a man whose strength equals his conviction, and a woman who hopes that, beyond violence and cruelty, humankind will recognize a stronger power--the force of love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beginning of new series!!!, June 16, 1998
By A Customer
After having read and enjoyed Beyond the Sea of Ice, Corridor of Storms, Forbidden Land and Walkers of the Wind, I was looking forward to reading the continuation of The First Americans series. After having read the first 110 pages of Sacred Stones last night, I am wondering what became of the cast of the first four novels. I think that it should be pointed out that the following books are not directly continuing the earlier books. I am enjoying them, but I hope to find out what happened in between the ages that the story skips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure on a grand scale!, July 21, 2000
By A Customer
Couldn't put it down. There is something wise and wonderful in this often blood curdling book. No wonder Western Writers of America voted it one of the outstanding paperback originals of the nineties. As always, Sarabande takes his readers on a rivetting journey back in time. The spirit of the past four novels in the series is alive and well in a new and astounding era of prehistory. I love the new characters! There is something almost Arthurian about them.
