Customer Reviews

Intersting, informative, well researched and well written

Mr. Tanner is perched at the edge of an exciting new literary genre. His first book is both well researched and well written. The story flows well and the characters are rich and personable. This book is an easy an fun read. I look forward to reading the rest of his works. Mr. Tanner researches his subjects extensivey which makes his writings attractive to those interested in Cryptozooligy.

Science and Magic

Native American myth and cutting-edge technology, all wrapped up in a cryptozoological mystery that reads like a detective story. Throw in some well-researched paleontological info and a lovable, Walter Mittyish hero, and you've got yourself a story that's gosh-darned difficult to put down. I know I couldn't do it.Oughta be a movie.

Thunder and Lightning

D.L.Tanner weaves a wonderfully appealing story around characters that you can love, hate, pity, and understand.The interplay of characters, especially Ian, Alma, and the controlling powers of the mission, keeps your imagination soaring like the cryptid thunderbird.Whether you are a believer, skeptic, or complete disbeliever in the legend of the thunderbird, you come away from the book with a warm feeling that Ian and Alma are two people you would really love to know better.This is a book that, as a retired teacher ,I could recommend to students with the knowledge that it is exciting and that there would be no need to apologize for profanity and vulgarity.There is plenty of action and far-out technology, as well as a foundation well rooted in the ancient world.

I loved it!

I can't remember having such a great time reading a book. The main character is humanly flawed, allowing the readers to identify with him. The humor is witty and on target. D.L Tanner has taken a Native American legend and turned it into a believable reality. The journey he takes you on is well thought out and wonderfully vivid in detail. I felt like I was making the trek right along side Ian and Alma. I was deeply moved by the ending and the characters I have grown to love.How refreshing to pick up a book that is not inundated with sex, violence and bad language. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well-researched adventure. Kudos, D.L.Tanner!!

The Thunderbird Legend

Never having heard the thunderbird legend before, I feel D.L.Tanner weaves a story of human shortcomings,passions,and intrigue which will keep anyone on the edge of his seat, usually wishing he could be there and help.His characters interplay with each other, and you love, hate, and pity almost each one in turn. The magnificent birds inspire wonder as well.A well written and inspiring story for people who may be jaded in their outlook on the world.
