Review: Intriguing Story
Rating: 3 out of 5

Since the reviews are all over the board, I tried the book and I'm glad I did.  The story line is a good one, the characters complex and well developed (a few are just a bit overdone), and the action lively.  The main character, Stonecoat, is one of those that you either like or don't like.  I finally got into him a good way into the book.  He might have been a bit glorified, but hey, it's a story.  The Indian lore was a nice touch (my wife is part Cherokee, so I am familiar with it).  The only thing I didn't like about the book was the editing, or lack of it.  Format errors abound in missed tabs, awkward word choices, misplaced or missing quotation marks, and misplaced strings of dialog that made it difficult to know what character was speaking.  And, of course, numerous typos.  I'm sure this kind of thing is unsettling to a lot of folks, but don't let that stop you from reading the book.  It is very entertaining.  I look forward to reading another of Robert Walker's books.
