Spiritwalker, Hank's first book having been life changing for me, I was excited to hear about this new book, written from the perspective of Nainoa, Hank's descendant living 5,000 years in the future. It is a beautifully written and gorgeous portrayal of part of our planet which has returned to a hunter gatherer society, albeit one filled with high ideals and dignity. I never for a moment forgot that I was being given a glimpse of the future of the Earth, after the anticipated collapse of our industrial society, by a protagonist who had had no idea of that collapse until he had had very real psychic encounters with Hank from Spiritwalker onwards. The tone is matter of fact and down to earth but what is being described is astonishing in the fact that it is depicting hope for the future when we thought there was no hope. Near the end of the book, Hank and Nainoa together hint at how it might be possible for us to ensure that our (or certainly some of our) descendants could exist 5,000 years in the future. For the open-minded believers this gives us cause for celebration - and a determination to ensure that what they envisage comes to pass. A fascinating, beautifully-crafted book that I enjoyed greatly. Congratulations to all involved in ensuring that Hank's final writings were made available to us, after he has gone.
Sweet continuation of Nainoa's life in the future. Be sure to read the other books in the series first - Spiritwalker, Medicinemaker, Visionseeker - for full comprehension.
