Publisher's Summary

In this thrilling sequel to Seventh Son, Alvin Maker is awakening to many mysteries: his own strange powers, the magic of the American frontier, and the special virtues of its chosen people, the Native Americans.

Alvin has discovered his own unique talent for making things whole again. Now he summons all his powers to prevent the tragic war between Native Americans and the white settlers of North America.
Don't miss the first Alvin Maker book, Seventh Son.

Critic Reviews

  • Locus Award, 1989

"Suddenly the saga of Alvin Maker begins to thrill." (Washington Post Book World)
"Set in an alternate world steeped in natural magic, this sequel to Seventh Son continues to demonstrate the author's love for American folklore. Recommended." (Library Journal)
"Harsher, bleaker, and more mystical than Seventh Son, this novel superbly demonstrates Card's solid historical research, keen understanding of religious experience, and, most of all, his mastery of the art of storytelling." (Booklist)
"Red Prophet is but a section of a vast American fantasy epic. It is vividly written, and the principal actors (Alvin, Ta-Kumsaw the Prophet, and Alvin's Gandalfesque mentor Taleswapper) are all complete and memorable characters." (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Plot?

I got to three chapters. At that point I realized that there did not seem to be a plot. The story to this point seemed to ramble and I just don't know what the point of the story is. It is a disappointment especially considering that this is an Orson Scott Card book.

But, perhaps it's just me.
