This book was an exhilarating ride to say the least It was smartly paced almost entirely action driven and so brutal in spots that I think it would have to be trimmed somewhat to ualify as a rated R film And incidentally this could be made into a very good movie is what I found myself thinking over and over again If Auel s Clan of the Cave Bear and Crichton s Eaters of the Dead were able to make the transition from speculative historical fiction to successful films this book probably couldThe book immediately plunges the reader as do so many of Herley s books into the day to day world of people in another time and place His skills at research and description allow him to do this convincingly and immersively than most writers and his natural knack for pacing and self editing allows him to do so without allowing the essential storyline to bog down He s clearly a author in love with story and place rather than with his own languageWhile The Stone Arrow was a fast exciting read it doesn t uite stand up to the uality of Herley s later works such as The Penal Colony Refuge or the incomparable The Tide Mill That s because The Stone Arrow shows only some of Herley s many strengths while his amazing vocabulary powers of research economy of words and manifest love of nature are on full display here his ability to sweep the reader through the full spectrum of human emotion is not nor is his delightfully bone dry sense of humor While the book is nominally written from a third person omniscient perspective the narrative eye spends relatively little time inside the characters heads preferring instead to focus on action and setting showing how the characters must be thinking and feeling through their deedsThose observations are not necessarily fault finding this book strikes me as the work of a talented twenty something writer out to make a big first impression and that it certainly does As it is I m now excited to sit down to The Flint Lord and The Earth Goddess the two remaining books in this trilogy I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in pre historic fiction anyone who has read and enjoyed any of Herley s later works or anyone who just wants to sit down and read a ripping tale of honor vengeance and ingenuity with a Rambo level body count

I recommend the book to historical fiction readers and to others who just want to read a book that is nicely put together The author s writing mechanics were excellent and his pick up timing was just where it needed to be The story was set in present day England at the time when nomads still roamed the earth when pods of farmers were settling down and when the mining industry was taking its hold on civilization These three groups did not mix then any better than they mix now The problems begin over a dog killing that erupts into vengeful killings between the nomads and the farmers In the midst of the nomad and farmer revenge war Tagart the one nomad left standing is captured into the mining slavery business Tagart relieves himself and another slave from their bonds thereby causing the third skirmish How these three entities think and act make the book a trip you do not want to missThank you Mr Herley for a good read
