6 Weaving with cotton was learned from the agricultural Pueblo Indians. In both silversmithing-using bold, simple designs often with embedded turquoise-and in weaving, the Navajos became superb craftsmen. This was good for him because this was his native land. He knew that wood, stones, and flints were located within the territory of his enemies, and therefore certain wood and stones were considered sacred by him. He had to know what part of the country would contain certain woods, flints, paints, and other useful items. The flint stone he knew would be good for knives, scrapers, spears, and arrowheads because of its keen edge and hardness. He had to find the right kind of wood, bone, and clay to make his cooking and eating utensils the right kind of stone to make into grinding stone, ax, hammer, or battle ax. He made tools for the women to use at home and around the encampment, and he had to have the knowledge to get the right kind of materials to make them work for his purposes. He developed many kinds of weapons and tools to make his life easier. In order to make use of the things and creatures created for him, he had to come up with his own idea of producing crude weapons and the apparatus needed to harvest his own needs and those of his fellow tribesmen.

She is the perfect foil for the taciturn and recalcitrant Kael. She has a tendency to believe the best of people she meets, though she knows how to defend herself. Anna runs across some men sneaking up on a woman alone, and alerts her to their presence, which is how she comes to be traveling with Elin and her protector Kael.Įlin is surprisingly sheltered for the difficult world she’s living in. Society has crumbled, and in its place is a precarious tribal system. The book opens with Anna who is simply trying to survive in the brutal world that has followed the death of much of the population after a plague swept the country. I’d never read a book featuring a romantic triad before, and this was eye-opening and very sweet. Second, the romantic plot deals with a triad. First, it deals with a near-futuristic/dystopian world. The Three is unique among O’Brien’s works for a couple reasons. If you haven’t discovered her work yet, you don’t know what you’re missing! O’Brien’s work is gold: well-written, interesting story lines that are usually a twist on what you’re expecting, and super-steamy sex scenes. It’s certainly my favorite Meghan O’Brien novel (followed closely by The Night Off). The Three by Meghan OBrien is one of my favorite books.

South of the border, he encounters resistance from the Peruvian government and church authorities, who believe the document will undermine traditional family values. The saga begins when the unnamed middle-aged male narrator whimsically quits his nondescript life to track down an ancient Peruvian manuscript (pretentiously called the Manuscript) containing nine Insights that supposedly prophesy the modern emergence of New Age spirituality. Originally self-published, the book sold phenomenally, sparked by word of mouth, and may be this year's The Bridges of Madison County -with which it shares some regrettable stylistic similarities. Redfield's debut is a fast-paced adventure in New Age territory that plays like a cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Moses's trek up Mt.

This is day Twenty-four of my Month of Short Stories – a story a day for June. Especially for something as iconic as Doctor Who, I need the actors to pull off that characterization. I am just as surprised as you are that I’m reading another Doctor Who novel! As I explained when I reviewed Engines of War, media tie-ins are not my thing. A mystery that could destroy the Wheel-and kill them all. They soon find themselves caught in a mystery that goes all the way back to the creation of the solar system. Once on the Wheel, the Doctor and his companions face a critical situation when they become suspected by some as the source of the ongoing sabotage. Some of the younger workers are even refusing to go down into the warren-like mines any more.Īnd then one of them, surfing Saturn’s rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from destruction. And there are stories among the children of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the Wheel. Maybe it’s only a run of bad luck, but the equipment failures and thefts of resources have been increasing. It’s a bad place to live-and a worse place to grow up. A ring of ice and metal turning around a moon of Saturn, home to a mining colony supplying a resource-hungry Earth.
