People of the River (1 of 3) [Dramatized Adaptation]

Written by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear

Narrated by A Full Cast, Julie-Ann Elliott, Richard Rohan and 9 more

A gripping new saga of pre-historic America that takes us to the Mississippi Valley and the tribe known as the Mound builders. It is a time of troubles. In Cahokia, the corn crop is failing again and a warchief--and the warrior woman he may never possess--are disgusted by their Chief's lust for tribute. Now even the gods have turned their faces, closing the underworld to the seers. If the gods have abandoned the people, there is no hope--unless it comes in the form of a young girl who is learning to Dream of Power.

Reviews for People of the River (1 of 3) [Dramatized Adaptation]

[osunale · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Dazzling civilization.

[bicyclewriter · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I would have given this more stars, but for the poor editing. Seems like about once on every page there was a typo or some other correction that the editor missed. I know this shouldn't detract that much, but it really does for me. Interrupts the whole flow of the reading when I have to stop and figure out what's really being said because a word doesn't fit. Generally I really like these stories, and wish the authors would have put in the effort to get better editing done.
