[Read by Scott Brick]
This tale of vengeance and sacrifice touches upon many Native American myths even as it reveals various truths in its antihero.
Katsuk, a militant Native American student, has kidnapped thirteen-year-old David Marshall--the son of the US undersecretary of state. He and his young hostage flee into the deepest wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where they must work together to survive as teams of hunters try to track them. Even as he struggles to escape, David begins to feel a certain amount of respect for his captor. What the boy does not know, however, is that he has been chosen as an innocent from the white world for an ancient sacrifice of vengeance. And Katsuk may be divinely inspired--or simply insane.

About the Author:
FRANK HERBERT (1920-1986), winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, was born in Tacoma, Washington, and worked as a reporter and later as an editor for a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first science fiction story was published in 1952, but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication of ''Dune World'' and ''The Prophet of Dune'' in Analog. The stories were amalgamated in the bestselling novel Dune in 1965.
Review:
''Deeply felt and magical . . . An eloquent evocation of the old earth-life religion contrasted to the walking death of whites.'' --Kirkus Reviews
