Publisher's summary

In The Holy Road, sequel to Dances with Wolves, master storyteller Michael Blake at long last continues the saga. Eleven years have passed sub Lieutenant John Dunbar became Dances with Wolves and married Stands with a Fist, a white-born woman raised as a Comanche from early childhood. With their three children, they live peacefully in the village of Ten Bears. But there is unease in the air, caused by increased reports of violent confrontations with white soldiers, who want to drive the Comanches onto reservations.

Disquiet turns to horror, and then to rage, when a band of white rangers descends on Ten Bear's village, slaughtering half its inhabitants and abducting Stands With A Fist and her infant daughter. The three surviving great warriors - Wind in His Hair, Kicking Bird, and Dances with Wolves - decide they must go to war with the white invaders. At the same time, Dances With Wolves realizes that only he can rescue his wife and child. Told with the same sweep, insight, and majesty that have made Dances with Wolves a worldwide phenomenon, The Holy Road is an epic story of courage and honor.

Good Western

I enjoyed the sequel to Dances with Wolves. “The Holy Road” was a good western. Bummer story for sure and there is no happy ending. We can’t change the history of what happened to our Native Americans and they are still devastated from our past.

Disappointing

Sad dismissal of Dances With Wolves. Not even a main character in this book. A sad history…

Unfortunate truths be told

The story is sad and true. The details and history of the Dances with Wolves saga comes to an end.
Narrator George Guidel is superb!

Author Bored with His Story Much

The first part of the book is great, like the first book was. Then it appears that the author got bored with his story, or else he died and the book was finished by someone else who had no vested interest in the story.

Not surprising, but disappointing ending

I kept hoping that there would be an endng that wasn't quite so historically accurate. I also questioned how the lead character could have forgotten so much of his first language when he didn't acquire his second language until he was well into adulthood. For Stands With a Fist to do so wasn't so surprising since she was captured as a child.

History

Story of the sad fate of the native population. Read by one of my favorite narrators. Good follow up of Dances with Wolves.

A fabulous look into how The White Man destroyed America’s Native People

From “Dances With Wolfes” through to the end of “The Holy Road”, I felt I had experienced the horrific destruction of the peaceful, naturalistic ways of

An even more thrilling sequel

I listened to this shortly after finishing reading Dances with Wolves. The initial story was about a man learning a new way of life and finding purpose. This story is about the death of that way of life.
