Language Of The Bear (Tomahawk And Saber)

The Language of the Bear is a pretty good adventure novel set in pre-revolutionary war America. Lieutenant Hugh Pyke, newly arrived in the colonies is sent on an assassination mission together with a young susquehannock warrior, Wolf Tongue that is supposed to be his guide. While traveling to accomplish their mission, they meet european colonists and various native-american tribes such as the Lenape (the Delaware) who naturally think highly of William Penn (the novel is set during his son, Thomas Penn's lifetime) but not so highly of the colonists they have to deal with now. The colonists are not portrayed in a favorable light by the authors across the book but maybe this will change in future books. Most seem disillusioned with the British crown and have an individualistic attitude where they mostly fend for themselves. ... We are following two men as they make their way through a gritty, unforgiving world full of people who are less noble than the heroes, we are following, but at the same time, our heroes are forced to wade into the muck themselves at times, navigating vast grey areas in which it is hard to discern what is right and wrong. Pyke started out very idealistic and a bit naive, but he grew along with the friendship between Wolf Tongue and himself, and it was fun to see their relationship evolve"--Amazon.com
