ReviewsBasing this new chapter in their ongoing Native American saga on current research and evidence, the Gears are able to communicate often-arcane historical and archaeological information within a compelling fictional format. - Booklist on People of the Morning Star "Rich in cultural detail... . Both longtime fans and newcomers will be satisfied. Another fine entry in an ambitious, long-running series." - Kirkus Reviews on People of the Longhouse "Blended with the carefully drawn suspense of court intrigues, colorful characters and sharp plot twists, this is a terrific tale." - Publishers Weekly on People of the Thunder, "Often and rightfully compared to James Michener, [the Gears'] shrewd grasp of history's resounding relevance raises them to the level of Ken Burns, Nathaniel Philbrick, and Doris Kearns Goodwin as the very best at what they do."-- Providence Journal "The Gears have provided another successfully compelling and enlightening excavation into America's forgotten past that will appeal to their large fan base."-- Booklist

SynopsisAn old enemy has returned to Cahokia with vengeance in his heart. Will the empire's living god choose to save his city? A thousand years ago, the mighty Cahokian civilization dominated the North American continent. At the heart of the empire stood a vast city, teeming with tens of thousands of residents, traders, and travelers. The city of Cahokia sent settlers and priests throughout the continent, from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico, carrying word of the power of their gods. People who wouldn't bow to that power were conquered or slaughtered. Power rested in one being, Morning Star, a god resurrected in thebody of a living man. A new threat has come to the city, emissaries from a civilization that rivals and perhaps even surpasses that of Cahokia. It soon becomes apparent to the gods-possessed Lady Night Shadow Star, human sister of Morning Star, that her people could be conquered by this technologically advanced culture. With the fate of their cosmos as a wager, the people of Cahokia are faced with a battle between the gods. Morning Star is unwilling--or unable--to fight to defend his people. Who then, will save them? With Sun Born , the second title in the Morning Star Trilogy, W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear take readers back to this amazing place with a tale of murder, magic, and the battle for a people's very soul., An old enemy has returned to Cahokia with vengeance in his heart.
