Short Reviews: Lawrence C. Connolly

"Great Heart Rising" [permanent link]. An unusual and fascinating tale that starts off reading like a usual hostage situation: the hostage-taker demands a certain person to be present. But when that person turns up, things take an unexpected turn when the reason he was chosen may have to do with his parentage (half Native American) and with his dead grandfather whom he meets in 'spirit dreams'. The end result may well be a change in the surrounding environment.
