People of the Morning Star by W. Michael GearMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is book #21 in the series North America's Forgotten Past as well as the first book in a sub-series: People of Cahokia.
In this book we are introduced to a huge city called Cahokia, located in the south. The people build huge mounds, with the elite living on the top of these mounds. People from all over, all languages, have come here to live near the miracle that happened with a living God being embodied in a human body. The bulk of the book is trying to figure out why the rulers are being attacked, killed or nearly.
I will have to read the next in the series sooner than later, so I don't forget the story line.
