Not your typical Piers Anthony fare - a historical fiction book speculating on the history of Native American burial mounds and the spirits that inhabit them. A very good read.
This book is about the Indians of Florida. Gives you a great insight into what they went through on a daily basis. Very good read.
From book back: They inhabit the unspoiled swamplands, mountain plains and verdant forests of the vast North American continent--warriors, shamans, hunters and farmers of sundry tribes and cultures. And one man travels among them--a speaker of many tongues born 'Hotfoot' but renamed 'Throat Shot' as a cruel consequence of a hunting raid. From the burial mound of his ancestors, the spirits set him on his life's path--impelling the young brave through war and hardship, through magical wonder and passionate love, on a mystical quest to deliver his people from the devastation that bears relentlessly down upon them.
My young daughter loves some of Piers's books, this one is not for children.
Very insightful book about the Indians who lived in Florida when the Spanish came in looking for Gold etc. I really enjoyed reading this book because of the Background information and the Caricatures used. Only thing I did not like was all the Sexual explanations and content that was included. Maybe that was the way they lived but I do not know.
