Book description
There was little noticeable, little remarkable about Edward Chance,
saving perhaps that he had once shot and killed a man....His craft,
medicine, was more than a business with him, more than a professional
skill. It was a way of healing his own heart too. In GHOST DANCE, it is
through Chances keen eyes and weary heart that readers travel along on a
journey of discovery and sorrow. On the run across the plains, Chance
stumbles upon Running Horse, a Sioux warrior enacting the sacred and
violent ritual of the Sun Dance. Quickly, Chance is pulled into the
world of the Sioux people. As their civilization teeters on the brink of
destruction, the Sioux perform the mournful and frightening Ghost Dance.
Clashes with the white man are rising; the Wounded Knee Massacre
approaches, still in the unknown distance; and violence and anger
threaten the traditions of a proud and once-great people. Nearby, in her
quaint sod house, Miss Lucia Turner awaits the full impact of those
clashes. Dust on the horizon signals great change coming to her
once-simple life. Lucia will soon become a different kind of woman. With
GHOST DANCE author John Norman brings the same vigor and passion of
storytelling and imagination that enriches his classic Gor novels to a
vivid story of historical upheaval and personal exploration. John
Norman is creator of the Gorean Saga, a series of novels spanning dozens
of titles that began in 1967 with TARNSMAN OF GOR and that are
considered to be cult classics. He has also produced a three-installment
fictional series, Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works and
a nonfiction paperback entitled IMAGINATIVE SEX. He continues to write
new novels in the Gorean saga, notably WITNESS OF GOR (2002) and PRIZE
OF GOR (2008), both published by E-Reads. At Gor Chronicles, a web site
specially created for his tremendous fan following, one may read
everything there is to know about this unique fictional culture. Mr.
Norman was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1931. He is married and has
three children.
