About this listen

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.

Very sad and poignant to in a strange way, bare witness to the destruction of a people and a nation.
The story though offers great insight into the life, culture and beliefs of the original American peoples.
I was very taken with the 'mystery' as it's something I would like to feel and grasp.
The sadness though at the end is so deeply effecting.

Beautifully evocative of a way of life gone.

Had to see how the story unfolded and it is inevitable and sad. At least there is closure on all the outcomes.
Well read. Some parts just seem to be padding and others could have been expanded but it is good.

Natural follow up.

Like many born in the 60 in England, we watched John Wayne and co kill Indians and played Cowboys n Indians in the school yards. I learned some as i grew older but never has 1 book altered my perception of life as this one. Maybe its because of DT and MAGA but rarely have i felt such anger and hatred as i do towards those European Americans and so many of the current crop.

Peace and Goodwill to all Native Americans

Recommend for anyone who is interested in the American Indian history it was a sad reminder of how we are quick to impose our own standards on others without any questions about the damage we do to the planet in doing so.

The injustice

l read both books and though l can't say l liked them because they were completely soul destroying, l couldn't stop. They leave you with a deep burning rage at the americans who perpetrated the atrocities and theft, the lies and broken promises. lt was nothing short of genocide and l'd love them to be punished for what they did out of grandiosity and greed. l can't write anymore because l'm so angry, but before l stop, l have to praise both the storyteller and the narrator. Oh. And lm never, ever going to America. the way lm feeling now, the8r laxadasical gun laws are just too accomodating.

makes you really angry

Read with a great story telling voice, this follow on to 'Dances with wolves' is a must for the truth behind the native Indians way of life. Their love of the land, nature and tribe, flows easily like a soft wind but ends with bloody thunder of the white man's violation.
A fantastic book that provokes an emotional response.

The sad demise of a beautiful race of people and their land to the greed of white men.

Bought it to follow up on the "Dances With Wolves" audiobook. It was nice to find out what happened to the characters of the first book. Such a sad truth to the history of America.
