This remarkable novel follows the journey of two mind-melded companions through the dangerous landscape of a post-apocalyptic future Earth.  By healing a wolf, a mentally gifted man gains a lifelong companion who travels with him to visit legendary north-country tribes.  They meet extraordinary characters along the journey and discover a destiny that is sure to shape their future.An important destiny awaits the bonded travelers.  Will people seek out technology that nearly destroyed Earth or follow the path of nature and self-discovery?  The author's vivid descriptions of places and people takes readers into a mysterious future world filled with danger.  The journey is worth taking and the characters are worth knowing.This is the second book in the Shape Shifter series.  It can be read on its own, but the reader will get a much better experience by reading Syren Song first and then reading Melder.  The reviewer who discounted this book surely didn't understand the importance of the shape-shifters to the overall composition.  I recommend both books to anyone who loves animals and quests.
