This isn't your mom's Clan of the Cave Bear. This is crime thriller. Northern Europe, 3000 BC. In this novella, Stone encounters a village on the verge of self-destruction. Only one young woman has the power to save it. Can Stone stand idly by and watch her make the ultimate sacrifice?A prehistoric thriller that hits like a Reacher novel! Relentless, gritty, and completely different from anything else in the genre. It has everything thriller readers love-mystery, tension, danger, a ruthless villain, and a lone warrior who refuses to back down-but it all happens in a grimdark prehistoric world. The author clearly did his research. The tribes, the beliefs, the rituals, the constant fight for survival all feel real. And that makes the stakes feel even higher. Stone is a great protagonist. Calm, intelligent, morally driven but not naïve. He reminds me of the best lone-hero characters in thriller fiction. If you like Jack Reacher, Longmire, or dark historical adventures with a heavy dose of cosmic horror, then sure, give this a shot.
