Award-winning archaeologists and New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear begin the stunning saga of the North American equivalent of ancient Rome in People of the Morning Star. The city of Cahokia, at its height, covered more than six square miles around what is now St. Louis and included structures more than ten stories high. Cahokian warriors and traders roamed from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. What force on earth would motivate hundreds of thousands of people to pick up, move hundreds of miles, and once plopped down amidst a polyglot of strangers, build an incredible city?
A religious miracle: the Cahokians believed that the divine hero Morning Star had been resurrected in the flesh. But not all is fine and stable in glorious Cahokia. To the astonishment of the ruling clan, an attempt is made on the living god's life. Now it is up to Morning Star's aunt, Matron Blue Heron, to keep it quiet until she can uncover the plot and bring the culprits to justice. If she fails, Cahokia will be torn asunder in warfare, rage, and blood as civil war consumes them all. People of the Morning Star is another stunning addition to the North America's Forgotten Past Series.

From Booklist The Gears, husband-and-wife authors-archaeologists, launch another multibook story arc with roots in one of their previously published books. Set 50 years after People of the River (1992), this tale continues the chronicle of the magnificent Cahokia Empire. After multiple tribes come together and build an astonishingly large and flourishing megaplex in the center of the American heartland, trouble festers from within in the form of an assassination attempt on their spiritual figurehead. The Messiah must be protected in order to preserve their cosmopolitan society. As always, cultural traditions and religious rituals play an enormous role in propelling the narrative forward. Basing this new chapter in their ongoing Native American saga on current research and evidence, the Gears are able to communicate often-arcane historical and archaeological information within a compelling fictional format. --Margaret Flanagan

“Sure to keep readers turning the pages... As usual, the Gears, husband-and-wife archaeologists, have enriched and enhanced the gripping plot with plenty of anthropological, archaeological, and historical detail.” ―Booklist on The Dawn Country
“Rich in cultural detail. Both longtime fans and newcomers will be satisfied. Another fine entry in an ambitious, long-running series.” ―Kirkus Reviews on People of the Longhouse
“The Gears have consistently captured early Native American life with precision, detail, and narrative excitement.” ―Booklist on the Novels of North America's Forgotten Past
“Set in the 1300s largely in what is now Alabama and Mississippi, this complex novel tracks three wanderers' quest to create peace in violent times. Blended with the carefully drawn suspense of court intrigues, colorful characters and sharp plot twists, this is a terrific tale.” ―Publishers Weekly on People of the Thunder
“The Gears, husband-and-wife archaeologists turned bestselling authors, continue their superbly researched and rendered North America's Forgotten Past series.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I was taken back to that time and place and hated leaving it when the story ended By kittysutton There are almost no words to describe this well written historical fiction story. The Gears bring to life the daily activities and lives of the inhabitants of Cahokia. Their well thought out account of how the political structure could have been and how its demise was bound to happen eventually, helped me see the history in a whole new light. I had no idea of the size and number of inhabitants plus the traders and constant visitors that would make Cahokia the largest trading center of its kind for that time period. I was taken back to that time and place and hated leaving it when the story ended. It is writing like this that one can understand why the Gears are so renowned and always on the top ten best selling author lists. You can't go wrong with this wonderful book. Kitty Sutton, Author of the Mysteries from the Trail of Tears series, Wheezer and the Painted Frog.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This novel allows one to see present day Cahokia as it once was By Rongratz I have read all of the Gears' books on Native Americans and found this one as good as any of the others. I have visited and walked through Cahokia and climbed Monk's Mound (where the palace of the Morning Star is located in this book). Today Cahokia is a quiet place with lush lawns amid the mounds. Walking though it one wonders what it was like when it was inhabited. This book, like the Gears' previous book on Cahokia (People of the River) bring the place alive as a real city where people lived, died, schemed, loved and all of the other activities of human beings. I wish the park service would set up a Chunkey court to complete the picture!
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Another great read By L. Ross I have read every book by these authors and I anticipate any new books that come out. I really love to not only read these elaborate stories but I also enjoy learning about the history and culture as well. This book is sort of the usual in that there is an underlying secret that eventually comes forth. It just goes to show that things always surface eventually. I feel that another book will follow this one considering how the story left off. What is the story behind The Evening Star? What will become of Night Shadow Star and Fire Wing?I do have favorites from these authors: The Coming Storm and A Searing Wind are excellent reads and left me crying in the end. Also, the Anasazi Mystery books are awesome! I just might read them again because I love them so much.
