Red Prophet

Red Prophet Volume II of the Tales of Alvin Maker "Suddenly the saga of Alvin Maker begins to thrill."-- Washington Post Book World " Red Prophet is but a section of a vast American fantasy epic. It is vividly written, and the principal actors--Alvin, Ta-Kumsaw, the Prophet, and Alvin's Gandalfesque mentor Taleswapper--are all complete and memorable characters."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer Come here to the magical America that might have been, and marvel as the tale of Alvin Maker unfolds. The seventh son of a seventh son is a boy of mysterious powers, and he is waking to the mysteries of the land and its own chosen people. "Harsher, bleaker, and more mystical than Seventh Son , this novel superbly demonstrates Card's solid historical research, keen understanding of religious experience, and, most of all, his mastery of the art of storytelling."-- Booklist
