Algonquin Spring: An Algonquin Quest Novel by Rick Revelle

5.0

Pedal to the metal action and adventure. Can't wait until book 3 of the series!
These novels (I am Algonquin and Algonquin Spring) call to mind the straightforward storytelling of C.S. Forester's Hornblower saga mixed with the historical accuracy of Patrick O'Brian's Captain Aubrey novels. You will definitely learn a lot about Aboriginal life from reading the Algonquin Quest novels. Everything from making traditional medicine, to how they made their weapons, how they conducted warfare to how they used every part of an animal they killed. Some may find the details of their lifestyle a little too graphic, but they are included for veracity, not mere shock value.
