Critic reviews

"Not only a heartfelt expression of the author's love of horses, this fine novel also offers a detailed study of life among those Blakely considers to have been the greatest horsemen of all time....Although it is fiction, Comanche Dawn should be required reading for anyone wishing to know about life among the early Plains Indians." (Booklist)

Great insight

Great insight into the mind and hearts of certain native American people and of a great Comanche warrior. I am binge reading Mike Blakely and enjoying every book immensely. He knows his stuff and is excellent at articulating his knowledge portraying believable and many faceted characters.

Great

Very entertaining combining the history, spirituality,visions, and truth about the greatest light cavalry the world has ever seen, the Comanche horseman.

Authentically historical in story and setting as they rode right through my area and traveled trails I have been on. I will watch for more from this author.

Tremendous job of "acting" from the narrator.This book is well worth downloading if you like Horses, the historical west and being well entertained.

Spectacular!

If you could sum up Comanche Dawn in three words, what would they be?

Great story, beautifully read

Any additional comments?

Meticulously researched, beautifully created. I loved this book, in the same vein as "ride the wind" - what I loved the most about this book is that th story is about the rise of a nation, not the fall. Too many stories about First Nations People focus on the fall / loss to immigrating colonies, rather than the power, drama, glory and sorrow of the people themselves.

Wow!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, although as a female and bored oneday, I admit I didn't expect to... What a wonderful saga, gripping, thrilling and evocative from start to finish!!
