 <\/p>\n

In The Lair of Legends<\/span><\/i> by David Buzan is a well-written, exciting tale that combines action, myth and history.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jolon Winterhawk is a Nez Perce warrior who was one of thousands of Native Americans who fought for the Union and Confederacy in the Civil War. Ten years later Lieutenant Winterhawk has one last assignment for the Union before returning to his wife and daughter. He is accompanying a large shipment of confiscated gold ore to an Army post in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. The train carrying the ore is ambushed by a vengeful, renegade Mexican general. The raid sets off a chain of clashes between Winterhawk, the general, corrupt\u00a0<\/span>Union officers, lumberjacks and the Native people\u2019s legendary Nu\u2019numic (Ancient Ones, Sasquatch, Bigfoot).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The plot is fast-paced. Almost very chapter brings new, deadly clashes. The author describes the fights in stop-action detail and with abundant gore. However, the author presents the action with interesting and important pieces of history. The role of Native Americans in the Civil War, their plight after the War and the role of railroads in the West put the story in perspective. The author has done a lot of additional research. His detailed descriptions of weapons, ballooning and logging add verisimilitude to his novel.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Young adult and adult readers should enjoy the novel\u2019s action and learning about history at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Highly recommended for young adults and adults<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contains: gore, mild profanity<\/span><\/p>\n
