Book Overview

Star Boy was the son of Morning Star and an earthly bride. He was banished from the Sky World for this mother's disobedience and bore a mysterious scar on his face, the symbol of the Sun's disapproval.
As Star Boy grew, he came to love the chief's daughter, and it was she who helped him find the courage to journey to the Sky World and make peace with the Sun. The Sun not only lifted the scar but sent Star Boy back to the world with the sacred knowledge of the Sun Dance, a ceremony of thanks for the Creator's blessing.

Fast paced and truly engrossing

I'm a huge mystery/thriller reader, and I really enjoyed this book. The plot moves along at high speed, the action is fast and furious, and the atmosphere Ms. Tan creates for her characters rang true. I found my affection for the main character growing as the book unfolded, which caused me to finish this book in a day and immediately begin reading the second book in this series. I hope there will be more to look forward...

I found it enthralling, amusing, sensitive, scary, and all-round enjoyable.I look forward to reading the next book about Jane - just to see what happens!

Jane Nichols is my heroine!

Jane Nichols is an absolutely electrifying character. She is a woman of steel, a key operative of the MI-5, a woman James-Bond. Fearless, tough, no-nonsense, take-charge, knows how to get what she wants, Jane is simply awesome! Jane's soft side shows in her personal life. Her first sexual encounter with Alex is so devastating sexy in which she had been making love to her memory with Brian. That Alex had merely provided...
