About this listen

Tekla, son of an ancient shaman, loses Ka Li when she is torn from his life by a brutal tribe of Denisovans in a Late Pleistocene kidnapping.

Ka Li escapes but is unarmed and forced to flee across the Bering land bridge where she becomes hopelessly lost in the endless tracts of North America. Only Tekla cares enough to search for her over the years. As Ka Li survives fierce predators and scarce resources, she leaves behind a series of signal cairns to help Tekla find her.

Skipping forward 60,000 years, Helen Ryland, a mid-20th century archaeologist, unearths one of Ka Li’s surviving signal cairns and realizes she has found trace of people who populated the Americas even before the Clovis culture. Helen’s detective work tracking Ka Li’s timeless signals across the Alaskan wilderness now intertwines with Ka Li’s story. As Helen solves the puzzle of the signal cairns she finds universal fame and suffers devastating misfortune. In the end, Helen discovers that science in isolation cannot answer all of her questions for Tekla’s devotion to Ka Li had not died even though 600 centuries had passed.

A rich story that in the tradition of Jean Awre and Clan of the Cave Bear tried to bring life to ancient history. An enjoyable read . Just a little 'organised' and tried hard to fill in history. However I learnt a few things from the archaeological time line that I glad to known before.

A little predictable

Loved the story, so clever to tie it all in. Will definitely look out for any other books by Jerry Merritt.

Good

The narrator was stilted and unnatural sounding. The dialogue was pretty poor, with characters over explaining to each other exactly what was occurring, presumably in order to inform the reader. Not great. The bones of the story were pretty good, but it all just lacked depth. I only purchased this after randomly buying one of the author’s other works which was absolutely fantastic, the time travelling old chap alien story - can’t remember the title but strongly recommend it, and it was as if this were written by a completely different person. Not recommended at all.

Nice Premise
