Publisher's summary

Raging River, priestess of the Sun People, has just done the unthinkable.

The Sun People are bound by an ancient law, left by the long-vanished Sky People: They must never kill. To other tribes, who have no such law, the Sun People are easy prey who will not defend themselves. Their game is poached, their stores raided, their women abducted, their men are killed for sport.

But when Raging River and her sister are attacked by a Wolf People raiding party, River fights back and kills one of the warriors. Worse, she has killed the son of their chief.

Now, with the Wolf People vowing revenge and her people facing annihilation, River must do the impossible. She must prove herself as priestess. She must find the mythical Sky People.

The Sky People is a fast-paced novella of revenge and redemption that explores new territory for number-one international best seller Terry Goodkind.

Fun but predictable

This story was fun to imagine “what if”. The ending was quite predictable. o o

Outstanding piece of work

I found this a very realistic and different approach to alien encounter. Taking the perspective from the alien point of view was very different but exciting. Great work from a guy I will truly miss who I hope is now among the stars.

Just a good story

I like very good kind because he uses the philosophy of objectivism to Talent stories. I would think that he was Ayn Rand

Sky People rocks

Enjoyed a refreshing new plot with a message of peace. Perhaps a series with Tom’s travels?

Way too short

Loved the book, good storyline. Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite authors. This was my fault, I didn't realize that this book was a Novella. If I had I would not have wasted a credit on it - turned it into a very expensive read. Hoping he will do some longer books soon. I prefer supernatural storytelling so will look for another, hopefully longer book for my next credit.
