Title: Shaman's Crossing
Product review: As the second son, Nevare is destined to be the soldier son. He accepts this fate with aplomb, doing his best at the Academy. Yet, once there, no matter how good he is, Nevarre is handicapped by his background, facing prejuidice that is impossible to overcome. Even his kindest actions have the potential for career suicide. Yet, his course was determined by his birth, and Nevarre can not be other than what he is.** Though billed as fantasy, other than being clearly set on some other world, there is really no magic to this book. The aborigine like people Nevarre encounters might have some magic, or it could be simple shamanistic superstition, much like the druids practiced once. The author has presented a highly detailed account of military training that will appeal to those who want to know more about that sort of thing. However, beyond that, there is little plotwise. **Reviewed by Amanda Killgore, Freelance Reviewer.
