Tuksook’s Story: 35,000 BC: Book Four of Winds of Change, a Prehistoric Fiction Series on the Peopling of the Americas

By Bonnye Matthews

The Winds of Change novel series examines a few issues:
• When people came to the Americas, • Who came to the Americas, and • From where did they come?
The Winds of Change novel series views the peopling of the Americas primarily from research over the last 15 years. The series takes the "what if" perspective. What might it have been like if the Americas abounded in human life long before 12,000 years ago?
The first book in the series, Ki'ti's Story, 75,000 BC (2012), is the foundation for the novel series, and it takes place in what is today southern China. The second book in the series, Manak-na's Story, 75,000 BC (2013), involves an adventure from China/Mongolia to Mexico and return. The third book in the series, Zamimolo's Story, 50,000 BC (2014), involves a partial migration from China/Mongolia to Central America, where they (1) experience an abduction, (2) meet migrants from Australia's aboriginal people and Pacific Islanders along with some others from Africa, and (3) encounter a number of strange animals. The fourth book, Tuksook's Story, 35,000 BC (2014), involves a partial migration of the People from China/Mongolia to Alaska's Cook Inlet region, as they flee from a drought. Read to see (1) whether they fare well in their new home in Alaska, (2) what Alaska's Cook Inlet was like in 35,000 BC, and (3) whether the People can convince the starving ones who remain behind to leave their drought stricken land to join them in the new land.
The Winds of Change is an exhalation from the nostrils of Wisdom, causing change. It affects individuals, groups, localities, regions, or the entire world. When the Winds of Change affect the world, all life responds. The first four books exist in a world of peace following the eruption of a super volcano. With the last great Ice Age the lives of the People change from a world of peace required for survival--where in-fighting was a luxury they could not afford--to a world of war, well established by 11,700 years ago, that continues to this day.

Bonnye Matthews

Bonnye Matthews, prolific Alaskan author, writes prehistoric fiction. According to Grace Cavalieri, award-winning poet/playwright, book reviewer, and host of The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress, Matthews is America's pre-eminent author of prehistoric fiction. According to George F. Steiner, Quaternary Geology and Pleistocene Cognitive Archaeology expert, “Her stories are fascinating and the science behind them is cutting edge.” The novel series focus is primarily the pre-ice age peopling of the Americas, and the novella series continues the same focus with a view of very old individual archaeological sites. There is a brief non-fictional accompaniment regarding her emerging western hemisphere population origin paradigm.

this book is ok....unfortunately no better than ok.
I was very excited to read the book, because I love the Clan of the Cave Bear series and similar books.
Even though this book is not that long, it seemed very repetitive in parts and reading dragged. Usually I would read a 350 page book in an afternoon, but this one took me several days.

parts were interesting, others were too cliche and too similar to modern society and mores.
