A Great Book That Defies Genre

When I read it, I was like, what do you call this book? A psychological thriller? Historic fiction? A modern novel? It ropes in elements from all over and the result is a fascinating narrative which you won't forget. The thing about this book is, it brings modern genres into an ancient time. Hardly do we see murder and phychoanalysis in a historic setting.
I highly recommend this haunting tale. I am presently lending out my very worn copy to any friend who is interested. So do read it!

Good, had me looking over my shoulder!

Since I come from a line of "medicine women" I grew up on witch stories and The Visitant is comparable to some of my favorites. Parts of this book read really slow (mostly the modern stuff), but overall the book was hard to put down. The end of the book was kind of confusing to read, so I had to re-read it. I loved the crude sense of humor of the archeologists, although their stories are predictable and tiring. This book definitely left me curious about the next two and I will definitely continue reading the series.

Got me Hooked

I found the hardcover of this on on a bargain rack, thinking, "If I don't like it, I'm out a cup of coffee." As soon as I began reading, I couldn't put it down, and have also begun reading the Gears' "First Native Americans" series. This book has everything I like in fiction: good research (it has a 6 page bibliography!) archaeology, horror, serial killers, exotic cultures, believable charachters and settings, and spiritual undertones, all in one lovely book! I highly reccommend this book, though I would check out "People of the Silence" first, as it provides background for the ancient storyline.
