The second novel in Joseph M. Marshall III's acclaimed Lakota Western series begins in 1875, as Sitting Bull gathers thousands of Lakota to face the growing problem of white incursion.

What follows is a sweeping tale of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including the days and weeks leading up to the conflict and the remarkable defeat of General George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry.

Told for the first time from the Native perspective through the eyes of Lakota warrior Cloud, the story also weaves in the lesser-known but strategically important Battle of the Rosebud and the uncertain future that faced the Lakota following victory.

Once again, Marshall infuses the story with his unique voice and eye for detail, creating a page-turning Western with a style of its own.

      You can't begrudge anyone for mourning the way the great Native tribes were domesticated by the white man in America or for wanting to erect monuments to commemorate that tragic history. But monuments make for inert fiction. What should be a stirring account--an Indian perspective on the legendary battle of Little Bighorn--is rendered in Marshall's novel and in his reading as ceaselessly mournful, reverent, and lifeless. Nearly every Indian character is similarly high minded, respectful, and wise. Dialogue is seldom more than explication. One is clearly meant to be inspired by the nobility of the Indians, but the feeling that Marshall's book and performance leave most strongly is tedium. M.O. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
