Ghost Dance

""There was little noticeable, little remarkable about Edward Chance,
saving perhaps that he had once shot and killed a man....His craft,
medicine, was more than a business with him, more than a professional
skill. It was a way of healing his own heart too." In GHOST DANCE,
it is through Chance's keen eyes and weary heart that readers travel
along on a journey of discovery and sorrow. On the run across the
plains, Chance stumbles upon Running Horse, a Sioux warrior enacting the
sacred and violent ritual of the Sun Dance. Quickly, Chance is pulled
into the world of the Sioux people. As their civilization teeters on the
brink of destruction, the Sioux perform the mournful and frightening
Ghost Dance. Clashes with the white man are rising; the Wounded Knee
Massacre approaches, still in the unknown distance; and violence and
anger threaten the traditions of a proud and once-great people.
Nearby, in her quaint sod house, Miss Lucia Turner awaits the full
impact of those clashes. Dust on the horizon signals great change coming
to her once-simple life. Lucia will soon become a different kind of
woman. With GHOST DANCE author John Norman brings the same vigor and
passion of storytelling and imagination that enriches his classic Gor
novels to a vivid story of historical upheaval and personal exploration."
