Soul Catcher

By: Frank Herbert

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Katsuk, a militant Native American student, has kidnapped 13-year-old David Marshall - the son of the US undersecretary of state. He and his young hostage flee into the deepest wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where they must work together to survive as teams of hunters try to track them. Even as he struggles to escape, David begins to feel a certain amount of respect for his captor. What the boy does not know, however, is that he has been chosen as an innocent from the white world for an ancient sacrifice of vengeance. And Katsuk may be divinely inspired - or simply insane.

This tale of vengeance and sacrifice touches upon many Native American myths even as it reveals various truths in its antihero.

incredible

Easily Frank Herbert's best novel, the narration by Scott Brick helps make the story more immersive and gives life to Frank's enchanting words.

Surprising. Thought provoking. Complete.

this is unlike the dune series in many ways but very alike in others--filled with natural mystery, prophecy, the guidance of higher powers. i felt immersed, unable to nail down it's meaning but sure of it's truth.

listen 1 0 0 % worth it even sans capitalization

as a reconstructionist, I must admit that paganism in any form results in the climax of this story in one way or another. ultimate reality demands a Savior. Choose One who can save. Christ is Lord of all.

Descent Story.

Scot Brick is one of my favorite narrators. It's like he feels the charitors perfect voice for telling stories. the book itself just didn't hit any highs for me I felt it kind of bland.

Soul Catcher's Triumph

Very well read. Interesting story, almost like poetry. First Herbert book I've read. Tried Dune once but it didn't capture my interest.
