"I haven't read a novel this good in a long, long time. People of
the Raven draws you into a magnificent, sweeping world--America,
circa 7300 B.C.--that is so real you can almost breath in the air
of it. It tells a bighearted story of war and peace, love and
violence, with a cast of richly drawn characters. This is a novel
that will stay with you for years--I guarantee it."--Douglas
Preston, "New York Times" bestselling coauthor of "Brimstone" on"
People of the Raven"
""People of the Raven, " at one level, is the recreation of a lost
and forgotten civilization by two noted archaeologists. But this
story of Kennewick Man also involves an important legal battle
pending in the U.S. Supreme Court and is a good read for those of
us intrigued by the earliest Americans."--Tony Hillerman, "New York
Times" bestselling author of the Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee Novels
on "People of the Raven
"
"Richly imagined . . . They succeed in blending a great deal of
information about how these hunter-gatherers lived together with

"on "People of the Raven"
"[The Gears] go where few have gone before, weaving bodice-ripping
. . . tempest-tossed tale of lust and savagery around a
pre-Columbian culture."--"The Oklahoman" on "People of the Raven"
"Extraordinary. . . . The Gears colorfully integrate authentic
archaeological and anthropological details with a captivating
story, replete with romance, intrigue, mayhem, and a nail biting
climax."--"Library Journal" on "People of the Owl" ""People of the
Owl" . . . cements the Gears' place in Jean Auel's genre of
prehistoric fiction."--"Romantic Times"" (4 stars) "The prehistoric
epic at its finest, with a gripping plot, lots of action,
well-developed characters, and a wealth of authentic historical
facts. Strong relationships, thrilling action, and fascinating
