Ilustration During Books People of the Morning Star (People of Cahokia #1)
Award-winning archaeologists and New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear begin the stunning saga of the North American equivalent of ancient Rome in People of the Morning Star.The city of Cahokia, at its height, covered more than six square miles around what is now St. Louis and included structures more than ten stories high. Cahokian warriors and traders roamed from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. What force on earth would motivate hundreds of thousands of people to pick up, move hundreds of miles, and once plopped down amidst a polyglot of strangers, build an incredible city?
A religious miracle: the Cahokians believed that the divine hero Morning Star had been resurrected in the flesh. But not all is fine and stable in glorious Cahokia. To the astonishment of the ruling clan, an attempt is made on the living god's life. Now it is up to Morning Star's aunt, Matron Blue Heron, to keep it quiet until she can uncover the plot and bring the culprits to justice. If she fails, Cahokia will be torn asunder in warfare, rage, and blood as civil war consumes them all.

Good read in the tradition of the Gears. A little more bloody then previous ones.The Gear and Gear books have been a favorite of mine. This book is no exception. The stories and characters are well drawn out and the history of the tribes is developed in an interesting manner. Along with the story you learn about their culture, which is a plus and enjoyable. A wonderful series.J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the Isms" "Wesley's Wars" and "To Whom It May Concern"
This is another fantastic book by the Gears. Its hard to believe that this is the 21st book in their series North Americas Forgotten Past, also called the People series. Most of the books in the series are stand alone books so they can be enjoyed separately rather than feeling like you have to read the entire series. Having said that, I can hardly believe that anyone wouldnt want to read the entire series. Ive loved every book.This particular book is on the second and even more resplendent
As always, it is gratifying to see references to characters from previous stories, to learn of the repercussions/results of their actions. Hiding the main antagonist in plain site is quite ingenious; it kept me guessing from beginning to end. Perfect example of how power (of whatever ilk) can be a dangerous commodity.
I read this quickly, skipping over a lot of it, because it is due back at the library. I checked it out from the library because of its cover, which described "A novel of North America's forgotten past." I am always looking for another "Clan of the Cave Bear." That this is not. However, it was interesting to learn about this book, which is one of a series. It is loosely based on archeological findings about Cahokia, a large city near St. Louis, that was built on mounds. There is evidence that
A nice addition to the brilliant "People" series by the Gears. Well written and very suspenseful, with the usual rich detail and knowledge of the subject matter. However, I do feel the violence in this book was a bit gratuitous even if the culture itself was a violent one. I feel one character in particular was needlessly killed. Barring that, it is a good book and I recommend it to those who enjoy the People series. I do suggest reading People of the River prior to this book, as it will lend
Ive been a fan of the Gears since I picked up their first book many years ago. This new series begins with People of the Morning Star, a saga of the Cahokian people. Cahokia was an enormous city that at its height, covered more than six square miles around what is now St. Louis. Ancient people often packed up and moved to the great city. The Gears have captured the awe-inspiring qualities of this early civilization with their usual skill. Well researched, the couple weave the spiritual
