The Lightning Warrior

by Max Brand

The Indians called the great white wolf the Lightning Warrior because of the swiftness of his attack. There was a bounty on his fearsome head, but no man could capture or kill him – until the giant known only as Cobalt came to town. And even Cobalt wasn't interested in the massive wolf until Sylvia Baird made the beast's pelt the one condition for her hand in marriage. She thought she was safe – the giant could never succeed in his quest. But when he returned with not only the pelt, but the wolf itself, and demanded his prize, Sylvia's only hope was a desperate flight for freedom. Cobalt set out in determined pursuit, but he'd forgotten Sylvia's newest ally...

Reviews

[Rob · Rating 2 out of 5]

A bit of an odd incoherent story. The book drifts from one theme to another. It starts off about the Lightning Warrior but then about a third of the way through drifts into an entirely different story in which the Lightning Warrior sits in the corner of the room.

An ok. easy read.

I picked up this book because it had such high ratings but I didn't find it that interesting. It was okay but I was glad to get it finished so I could move on to better reading.

A strange and surreal story

Not for everyone, but an amazing tale that kept me reading with deep interest all the way through. Yes, I recommend it!
