Prepare for a long and dangerous journey from Nuevo Mexico through the heart of the Rocky Mountains, and into the lands of their enemies.
Hoping the vast forests and towering peaks of the Rockies will hide them, Zach Connors leads his family into the mountains. As they enter this new and beautiful land, they face both Cheyenne and Arapaho hunters that are determined to prove the medicine of Grizzly Killer is not greater than their own.
Sending his family ahead to safety, Zach and his dog face a cunning and brutal enemy alone. Knowing he is outnumbered and in an unknown land, he must become as brutal as the warriors on their trail. Using not only his weapons and skill, but the superstitions and fears of his enemies, as he sends their spirits in the wind.
Spirits in The Wind is the eleventh book in the best-selling, action-packed Grizzly Killer Series.
Lane R Warenski lives in a log home in Duchesne County, Utah, where he has an unrestricted view of the highest peaks in the mighty Uinta Mountains. Warenski was raised being proud of his pioneer heritage and with a deep love and respect of the outdoors. Ever since childhood, following his father, Lane R Warenski has hunted, fished, and camped the mountains of the West. Whether it was the daily journals of William Ashley and Jedediah Smith or the fictional stories written by the great storytellers like Louis L’Amour and Terry C. Johnston, throughout his life, Warenski loves reading the history of the first explorers that came west, most of whom never dreamed they were opening this wild and rugged land to the pioneers and settlers that followed.
Another super good book in the Grizzly Killer series. All the books so far has been like great adventures, but this particular book was more intense and gripped me more than the other books in the series. With this book Lane R Warenski made it well into my Top 10 list of Western writers if not even Top 5, and I look forward to reading many more of his books.
Never read a Grizzly Killer book that wasn't an exceptionally outstanding series of one unending exciting adventure after the other. This one is especially an ongoing series of outstanding accomplishments by Grizzly and his family. Great compilation of outstanding entertaining accomplishments of ok western folklore!
Definitely another five star masterpiece by one of the master creatiors of outstanding western accomplishments. The author's outstanding descriptive storylines definitely depicts how one would anticipate our old American West was finally conquered and settled. Too, the characters were compassionately selected for their commanding assignments, and they definitely fulfilled their roles to perfection. Great camaraderie among Grizzly and his family, as the odds were not always in their favor! One exciting adventure after the other, as this family strives to survive and return safely to their desired homeland. I made a mistake when I began reading the book a late in the evening, and had to lay it aside until the next day! Definitely recommend this compassionately motivated story to all readers, regardless of your reading pleasure, as you will become fully engrossed immediately. Too,you will find it hard to put the story aside until it has been completely finished. You will certainly find yourselves completely mesmerized by Grizzly, and his family, as they strive to reach their homeland! Great story from cover to cover!!!😄

From Nuevo Mexico to home, through the lands of their enemies, Spirits are needed to be safe!
As Zack Connors and his family journey to their home they pass through the lands of their enemies, both the Cheyenne and Arapaho. After being viciously attacked Zack sends the rest on ahead of him. He and his faithful dog, Jimbo, now face their violent enemy alone. The Cheyenne leader wants to prove that Grizzly Killer’s medicine is not that great, he is greater as he will kill and take his powers.
Relying not only on his weapons, Zack knows that what will help him most is the superstitions and fears of his enemy. He is outnumbered and unfamiliar with the lands but he and Jimbo can out best them, just by arranging their spirits to join the wind. Zack is a gentle person and being brutal is not his way, but it will be the only way that he can see his family safely home. And the story begins….
What did I like? Well, here is another of my favorite characters. You say, she sure has a lot of favorite ones. But when you think about the awesome authors out there and realize the many books that they write, there is no way a person would not have an abundance of favorites. Or at least that is the way I look at it. I have never been able to choose just one book, one story, one character, there are just too many to enjoy!!!
Zack Connors and his wonderful family stole my heart in the very first book that I read in this series. I have been with him when he and his dad left for the mountains. Both falling in love with those incredible mountains and making it their home. His pa being killed by a grizzly, his adoption of Jimbo, his love of Old Red, and meeting his wives and building his family. Now we see them journeying home after one of their adventures and feel them fight their enemies. It takes a mighty man to love as hard as Zack does, his animals, and his family. He would do everything in his power to protect them or die trying!
What will you like? Extremely emotional, intense action, extraordinary characters, remarkable storyline, and unique settings. When you read you will experience the emotional turbulence in Zack as he sets about besting his enemy. The descriptions and details take you on this unique journey that Jimbo, Luna, and Zac experience during the fight to protect his family. While you are flying over the campfire, you will feel the wind on your face, the smell of the smoke, taste the mist on your face, and see the pain of the enemy. Take this amazing ride while Zack and his family travel to their home through the Rockies to the land of the Grizzly Killer. Here is another wonderful book to add to your Western Library.

Traveling and more traveling! The group of friends and wives travel to the ancient ruins and then into Mexico. After harrowing experiences and keeping the family safe, Grizzly Killer, Zach Connors decides it is time to head for home. He is homesick and believes it is time as it is months before they will again be high in the Rocky Mountains. They traded their goods and now have a long train of horses carrying the burden of stores they will need for a year. The growing children either ride alone on horses or ride in a harness that allows them to ride in front of their mothers. I found all of this very interesting and have loved each and every story. Yes, there are horrors of death and destruction along the way, but the events feel as if I see all the details in their lives. Thanks for great writing as I move on toward the next adventure.
I have read each of the other Grizzly Killer book and each time I completely enjoyed them. I started reading the first book and was hooked. Every time I read one of the books I get completely absorbed in it. I have to read it all the way through before I can put it down. Each book tell a great story the characters come alive and takes you totally into the story. I can recommend each and every book if you like books about the western frontier with a great story line you will like these books.
I have been addicted to reading about Grizzly Killer and his companions. There are many battles with Indians and Bad Mountain men. It makes you realize how fragile life was living back in the early 1800's. I never thought of that when I was a child and wanted to be an Indian riding horses every day. You really feel like you are there with the great descriptions of the locations and the characters feelings. These books are good for anyone interested in western history.
I consider Lane R Warenski to be one of our best writers of books about the American Mountain Men and the Native American People.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Spirits In The Wind" as well as every other book written by Lane R Warenski and if you enjoy reading well written and research books about the American Mountain Men and Native American People then you will thoroughly enjoy reading the "Grizzly Killer" series.
I enjoy the way different happenings sneak up on you like the paint horse suddenly allowing a man to ride him for the Buffalo hunt the little girl Star seeing trouble for her dad,the way the dog& wolves&horses can communicate with each other
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys fiction! Or adventure. Once you start the book it’s hard to stop for anything like bed time or supper time.
I rE Warensiki does not only write great adventure stories but also give a lesson in history and geography. You can be sure that every rock creek or tee mentioned exist in true life. The story is full action adventure hunting and romance mixed with good moral and ethic.
Not even close to being on par with previous books. WHY would you repeat so much??? Not only do you repeat certain events or stories, but in this latest book you are repeating entire chapters. I'm done with Warenski unless he stops all of the repetition!!!!!! Write something new, or shorten your books, just don't keep repeating yourself!!!!
Different trip to rondevous bringing many trials and tribulations! Two years before reaching home again! Meeting up with old friends on return trip to home! Again Lane writes another intriguing story! Love his way of putting you right in the middle of Grizzly’s story!
Another action packed exciting adventure from beginning to end. Like all the rest of the Grizzly Killer novels, it was hard to put down and you wished that it wouldn't end. I loved it as I have all nine of the series and only wished that there were more..
Once again the past comes alive through the magical efforts of Mr. Warenski, as he shows us what life was like in the Colorado mountains in the 1830's. I am sure that those who have been following along this long will enjoy this book also.
Another fine story of the exciting life of Grizzly Killer! Rabid wolves, bears and fighting galore, oh, my!! Some series slow down but Lane R Warenski never fails to entertain.
Mr. Warenski does a fabulous job of recreating the life, danger, beauty and heroism of the western mountain man. I have read every book in this series and marvel at each one! Thank you for feeding my soul with these wonderful stories Lane!!
This is the 11th in this series. It was written in the same vein as the rest of the series. You will find plenty adventure, excitement, violence and love of family. If you liked and enjoyed the previous book in this series you will not be disappointed.
I have all the books in this series and they all get 5 stars from me! I have read all of them at least twice! My only complaint is that there is to long a wait between books! I am patiently waiting for the next one.
More of the same, good writing, good characters that I care about and marvelous action. The antics of the dog and horses is funny. Have I said lately that I don't like writing reviews?
Plenty of action, interesting characters combined with Rocky Mountain geography and more make this a very good read! Ware ski has provided yet another winner in this great series!
I've enjoyed all the books in the Grizzly Killer series. This one finds Zack and friends making the long trek home. They have run-ins was Navajo and Arapaho warriors. While at rendezvous Little Dove has plans for Grub and Eily.
I don't know what I love the most, Thunder, the mule, Luna, Jimbo or the whole storyline! Only one complaint, in the last three books the beautiful black dog has become gray! Loved the way this one ended!
So good I read it in one sitting. It felt as if I was traveling with the group and experiencing the dangers, the beauty of the mountains and the joys of family and friends.
i'm very glad that Eli and grub found someone for themselves to have a partner in the wilderness. said what happened to the women, but they have overcome it and the men did pay. Glad they are all reunited.
