Review:

" Suddenly the saga of Alvin Maker begins to thrill." -- "Washington Post Book World"
" "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." -- "The Philadelphia Inquirer"
" 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 "
