The SealEaters, 20,000 BC
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
The SealEaters, 20,000 BC is book 5, and the last of the Winds of Change Series on the Peopling of the Americas.
This is a survival story of the Solutreans in southern France/northern Spain. As the Ice Age advances, seals from the north have beached on the shores of the People, and the SealEaters have come to depend on them for their major food source.
The SealEaters face advancing ice from the north, and for the first time, warring groups beyond the mountains to the east and south.
In search of a new land, a small number of SealEaters travel the arc formed by the ice sheets, eating seals along the way across the Atlantic Ocean to the east coast of what is now North America. They survey the land and groups of people living there, trying to find a new living place.
With this move to the new land and the influence of new people they find there, will the People be able to retain their cohesiveness and peaceful ways?
The Winds of Change affect individuals, groups, localities, regions, or the entire world, and all life responds. The first four books exist in a world of peace following the eruption of a super volcano. With the last great Ice Age the lives of the People change from a world of peace required for survival--where in-fighting was a luxury they could not afford--to a world of war, well established by 11,700 years ago, that continues to this day.
"What author Bonnye Mathews has managed to do is to expertly craft a series of notably entertaining novels that incorporates new data into an historical fictional accounts that bring these ancient peoples alive." -Midwest Book Review

Alaskan author, Bonnye Matthews is the award-winning writer of the Winds of Change series on the peopling of the Americas before the ice age. After five years of intense research, she chose to write from the Pre-Clovis view, as it is supported by recent genetic evidence and new fossil and artifact findings of the last decade or so, plus more than 400 sites in the Americas. Her thirst for knowledge in this area follows the footsteps of Thomas Dillehay, J. M. Adocvasio, and many other archaeologists. She dreams of the day when a Homo erectus specimen has finally donated a viable genetic specimen. The Winds of Change series includes the following books: 1. Ki'ti's Story, 75,000 BC, the thrilling tale of how Neanderthals, Cromagnons, and Homo erectus race to avoid the ashfall from a supervolcano (based on the eruption of Mt. Toba, called Bambas in the novel); 2. Manak-Na's Story, 75,000 BC, the story of a father who travels from China/Mongolia by boat to Mexico and back, seeing people in the Americas; 3. Zamimolo's Story: 50,000 BC, where Zamimolo struggles with the terrifying new environment after migrating from Asia to Central America; 4. Tuksook's Story: 35,000 BC, where The People flee to Alaska to survive a terrible drought; 5. The SealEaters, 20,000 BC, a survival story of the Solutreans in Northern Europe as they face ice from the North and war from the East and South, explore and find a new homeland in the Americas. After winning awards for each of her titles, Bonnye has begun a new series continuing her focus on Pre-Clovis sites in the Americas - this time set in ancient Mexico, and beginning with Freedom, 25,000 BC.
