Book Description

Publication Date: 3 Jan 1991 | Series: Tales of Alvin Maker

Since the age of eleven, whe he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lolla-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumsaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage has far more brutal plans for the Indians.

When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller - a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers - to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumsaw. And brings Alvin one more step on his magical odyssey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy sequel to a fantastic beggining. 19 Sep 2005
By Patty
Format:Paperback
The second installment in young Alvin Miller's adventures is even more gripping, relentlessly exciting, imaginative and simply a wonderful story.

In this book, Alvin follows the lives of the Red Indians as they struggle aginst the onslought of the White settlers driving them out of their lands, and their own struggle of choosing war or peace. In the course of the book, Alvin learns to "see" more than meets the eye, to understand more of his "knack", and begins to realise how he should fit into the grand scheme of life.

The story is also immensely real and emotional. I was nearly in tears at the end of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inventive, Unorthodox and a Little Dark 11 Mar 2009
By Sir Furboy TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This book was a great read - and as usual, Card is inventive and unorthodox. What appears to be an anti-religious tirade settles into a more considered point of view. Meanwhile there are some interesting diversions into things that actually make a society strong and meaningful, and into issues surrounding native Americans, whilst all the time taking the overall story of a seventh son of a seventh son forward.

Not Card's best work, but certainly not his worst either - and well worth reading

5.0 out of 5 stars Good- another in the Alvin series 3 Sep 2001
By M. G. Latham
Format:Paperback
As usual Orson Scott Card delivers a highly readable sequel to his Alvin series. Readers are best advised to start at the beginning of the series.
