Praise for W. Michael Gear and
Kathleen O’Neal Gear

 

“Set in the 1300s, largely in what is now Alabama and Mississippi, this complex novel tracks three wanderers’ quest to create peace in violent times. Blended with the carefully drawn suspense of court intrigues, colorful characters, and sharp plot twists, this is a terrific tale.”

 

—Publishers Weekly on People of the Thunder

 

“The knowledgeable Gears have firmly interwoven history, geology, and archaeology into a compelling narrative that reanimates and breathes new life into a neglected era of Native American history. This is historical fiction at its best, well researched and well thought out.”

—Booklist on People of the Weeping Eye

 

“Drawing on their backgrounds in archaeology, the Gears vividly re-create Paleolithic America in this enchanting and instructive novel.”
