Book Description
Raised in the wild by intelligent, language-using wolves, in her teens Firekeeper was abducted back into the lands of men, where her upbringing as a wolf helped her survive the deadly intrigues of human beings. One of the first things she learned in Hawk Haven was that magic was a thing to be feared and despised. Long ago, all the human kingdoms were ruled by powerful sorcerers. Then a plague came and the sorcerers died. Nobody misses them. Much was lostbut still, nobody misses them. Yet as Firekeeper has travelled and grown wiser in the ways of human beings, shes learned that the true story was more complex. In coming to the country of the Liglim, she, Derian Carter, and Blind Seer discovered that magic is still working in the world, and that it isnt always the evil theyd been warned against. But it also turned out that the old plague specifically targeted magic users. And when Firekeeper and her friends learned to open the gates between worlds, the plague came back with them. Firekeeper, Blind Seer, and Derian Carter survived the plague: not unchanged, but still themselves. Now Firekeeper is determined to learn the nature of the plagueand if she can, to end it forever.

Firekeeper Expands Horizons.......2007-09-15
Wolf's Blood (2007) is the sixth fantasy novel in the Wolf series, following Wolf Hunting. In the previous volume, Firekeeper and Blind Seer foiled a group of Nexans attempting to open a gate to escape from the island. Afterward, those from the New World called a general meeting of the Nexans to decide their next move, giving them the choice of cooperation or exile. Meddler asked for a favor from Firekeeper, taking a kiss to allow him to manifest on Nexus.
In this novel, five months later, the conquerors of Nexus are stymied due to the dangers of querinalo -- the Fire Plague -- to any newcomers with magical abilities. Having no way of identifying those with magic, reinforcements cannot be brought in from the New World. Since Blind Seer caught the illness, they are even afraid to bring in more yarimaimalom.
Meddler interrupts Firekeeper's dreams to suggest that she search for the source of the illness. The Nexans start looking through their archives, but the ruling council also sends Firekeeper to the New World to ask for assistance from the maimalodalum. The combined searches indicate that querinalo is really a curse developed by a sorcerer named Virim. Firekeeper and Blind Seer set off to find Virim or his descendents.
Firekeeper and Blind Seer travel back to the New World through a gate terminating in New Kelvin. After exiting the gate, they discover Grateful Peace and Citrine waiting for them. Explaining their presence, they arrange for periodic contacts through the gate and resume their journey.
In this story, the Old World nations discover that the Nexus gates are blocked. King Bryessidan of Mires is one of the first to be informed and he calls a meeting of interested parties to discuss the situation. Six other nations send emissaries to the meeting in the Kingdom of the Mires.
The ambassadors, emissaries and Once Dead at the meeting conclude that the government of Nexus has changed hands. They decide to force the gates and invade Nexus. King Hurwin suggests a simultaneous sea invasion of the island. Planning and plotting begin immediately.
This story brings several plot threads to resolution, but not to any final conclusion. Magic seems to be destined to play a more prominent part in the expanded culture of the Old and New Worlds. The new plot elements really deserve a sequel.
Highly recommended for Lindskold fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of magical powers, realpolitik and unusual relationships.

Far from Lindskold's best.......2007-09-03
Books 1-3 of this series I loved, books 4-6 I liked less well, with book #6 Wolf's Blood, being my least favorite. But I did finish it. In Wolf Hunting (#5) they came to the Nexus Islands. In this book they must defend the Islands from their trading partners who find the magical gates closed. Meanwhile, they have made many friends whose aid they enlist in the struggle. Also, there is much search for identity in this novel: are you who you look like, feel like, or who you love? And who does Firekeeper love? Trust is important to this novel, should she and the others trust the Meddler?. How much? But mostly, this is a dense, hard to read, ultimately, to me, unfulfilling novel.
I'd recommend Wen Spencer's Ukiah Oregon series, with somewhat similar plotlines and questions, instead...
I'd also recommend Lindskold's own Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls, which is not at all similar.
Still worth the read.......2007-05-22
The series is still going strong and managing to bring ever new elements into play.
Some long time characters are a bit neglected (e.g. Elise) some make a bit of a reappearance (e.g. Grateful Peace), many of the Yarimaimalom stay two dimensional while other new/newish characters take up the gap.
Firekeeper and Blind Seer further mature as does their relationship.
The Old World characters become alive only to go back to being mostly ignored toward the end. So the book could have done with a bit more cohesion between and within the characters but the plot was always interesting.
This all sounds a bit mixed but I did enjoy the read and would definitely buy the book again if I hadn't already.
Great book, great series.......2007-05-15
According to the author this is the last book in the series. I have enjoyed all the books in this collection, some more than others. This is one of the 'more than others' books. The author has done a good job of tying up many loose ends, although I wish more time could have been spend with some of the characters, I guess there is only so much room in a book.
To really appreciate this book a reader should be familiar with the story line. I would recommend reading the earlier books in the series.
I also can't help but wonder, given the ending of the book, if the author hasn't left a bit of room for another book.
not what I expected.......2007-05-13
Wolf's Blood isn't really what I expected. I couldn't wait to read the others in the series; but this one seems to have gotten off track some how. I read 3 other books while reading it. Kinda a let down.

Africa may not always have been in Jane Goodall's blood, but animals were there right from the start: the list of recipients in what one hopes is only the first volume of her letters includes Dido the dog and Pickles the cat. And this is no flight of editorial fantasy. Goodall always accorded these members of her "darlingest family" their proper place alongside such correspondents as her mother, her father, her best friend, and her mentor, Louis Leakey (a.k.a. FFF, Foster Fairy Father). Africa in My Blood opens with 7-year-old Valerie Jane's encounters with various canines (real and porcelain) as well as signs of incipient naturalism--she has found "a ded rook he died of cold" and is caretaking a "catepiler." In the same communiqué, she also notes that her toy chimp has a new dress. Goodall would later prefer her primates au naturel but would continue to balance her urge for living taxonomy with love and empathy.
Culled from more than 16,000 letters, this collection will inspire Goodall adepts and those coming upon her for the first time. Her "autobiography in letters" restores this icon to full, even frivolous, humanity. It also recalls a lost era of inspired amateurism. When she went off to Nairobi at 23 in the spring of 1957, Goodall had no formal scientific training. Yet within weeks she had met Leakey and was soon working with him, not to mention rebuffing his advances, though she assures her mother that "he's much too fond of me for any monkey business."
Meanwhile, they had already discussed monkey business of a higher sort. "There is the vaguest possible chance that little me," Goodall wrote, "may have the chance to go right out into the wilds of the Northern Frontier for two or 3 months to study a strange tribe of chimpanzees who may be a new species, or sub-species. That is too heavenly to even think about." By the summer of 1960, Goodall was installed at the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve (which she soon termed Chimpland). And over the next year, she made four key discoveries, if not more, and was proving herself the zoological equal of such masters as George Schaller, having documented her subjects eating meat as well as using tools with ease.
Africa in My Blood reminds us that Goodall was once a controversial rather than hallowed figure, her methodology viewed with suspicion and condescension. And as many of us happily vegetate in front of televised slices of animal life, her awareness of her privileged position puts things in perspective. In early 1961, Goodall recounts a complex ritual and then asks her family: "Can you begin to imagine how I felt? The only human ever to have witnessed such a display, in all its primitive, fantastic wonder?"
Because Goodall has written so elegantly and incisively on chimpanzee behavior in, for instance, In the Shadow of Man and Through a Window, some readers might initially be tempted to gloss over her descriptions of such animals as the venerable David Greybeard and expert towel thief William and concentrate on her own persona--teasing, hyper-enthusiastic, and absolutely determined. When her project is threatened in 1963, she implores FFF: "You would fall head over heels in love with all my darlings--never, never think that I will let anything happen to them through what I am doing. I KNOW it is right. I KNOW that I can work the Reserve the way it must. I KNOW that I shall come back here time and time again until the problems that remain are hardly worth mentioning." Africa in My Blood makes it clear that, as Jane Goodall has long stressed, human and ape cannot be separated. --Kerry Fried
Book Description
AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is an extraordinary self-portrait, in letters and commentary, of Jane Goodall's early years, from childhood to the landmark publication of IN THE SHADOW OF MAN. It reveals this remarkable woman more vividly and clearly than anything that has been published before, by her or about her. We see Goodall grow from a schoolgirl into the promising young candidate whom the legendary Louis Leakey sent to a wildlife preserve on the shores of Lake Tanganyika to undertake a revolutionary study of chimpanzees. At Gombe we see her immerse herself in the lives of wild animals as no one had done before. AFRICA IN MY BLOOD is a dramatic, moving, funny, and important book that tells the story of how an English girl who loved animals became one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.

Sit by the Firelight in Africa at Midnight with Jane Goodall.......2000-12-31
The letters in this collection date from Ms. Goodall's youth through 1966, when her stature as a scientist was well established based on her pioneering research in Africa.
Books of letters are normally associated with great female authors of novels, such as Virginia Woolf. In those wonderful volumes, beautiful style and playful use of words adds joy to one's appreciation of the literary works themselves.
So, I did not know what to expect from a book of Jane Goodall's letters. What I found was a most pleasant surprise. The letters provide a deep perspective into the personality of Ms. Goodall and how that contributed to the development of the research methods she used. I found the letters fascinating and very rewarding, despite the fact that they are the opposite of high literary style.
If you are like me, you may primarily know Jane Goodall from her National Geographic television specials. Those were very accessible and enjoyable. But I did not know the background concerning how her pioneering research with chimpanzees was initiated and developed. This book wonderfully filled in that background. Also, I did not know how an attractive young Englishwoman came to become a field scientist in Africa in the first place. Also, the shows made it all seem rather natural and easy.
First, you will come away impressed with what a devoted correspondent she was. Over 16,000 letters were found by the editor to draw from. Now, how many letters have you written in your life? Also, these are mostly long, newsy letters to family, friends, and professional colleagues. If she had been a book reviewer, no one would have believed her production. Remember that she had no computer to help her draft the letters. In fact, she had the balkiest manual typewriters imaginable.
What was even more remarkable to me was that so many of her early letters had been saved. How many letters have you saved from people under the age of 15? That these letters are available is quite a testimony to her relationships with these people, and the impact of her personality.
Then, I did not know that she was a secretarial school graduate when she went to Africa. A few jobs quickly convinced her that she was not cut out for indoor work. She was eventually accepted into a Ph.D. program without ever having attended college! In fact, she had done most of her breakthrough field work before her Ph.D. was even granted. So much for formal education as a way to create new scholarly methods.
Ms. Goodall has a wonderful love of humans and animals that makes no significant distinction between them. I was overwhelmed to read her descriptions of her pets and the chimpanzees and baboons she studied. It is remarkable to read page after page as she gossips with people about the animals by name in more detail and with more sympathy than in much of what she writes about people who were not close to her. This perspective is a fairly unique one, and led to her finding ways to relate to the animals throughout her early years.
There is great humor throughout the letters. Her many descriptions of men becoming interested in her and how she handled them are echoed in her descriptions of the female chimpanzees eluded the hovering males. Humor and laughter came easily to her. You will laugh too at the descriptions of the chimpanzees tickling each other.
You will come away with a great respect for what she accomplished. The difficulties she overcame were incredible, and the work that she put into her research is beyond imagining. She mostly wrote these letters around midnight, after working from 6:30 in the morning . . . often in the driving rain. This was a 7 day a week effort for her. Frustrations were everwhere. Great sequences would occur, but where no one could photograph them. Or the exposures were set wrong on the camera, and the whole roll of film produced nothing. And the camera problems were just the least of it . . . although they were the most maddening to Ms. Goodall. Malaria, shingles, and mysterious diseases affected her and the others she worked with. But her commitment remained strong.
Dale Peterson has done a fine job of selecting the letters and summarizing them at the beginning of each section. My only complaint about the editing was that more footnotes would have been helpful. I was regularly lost in trying to understand who some of the people were whom Ms. Goodall refers to.
I suggest that you give this book to a young person who loves animals. Perhaps something will "click" that will allow that person to see that she or he can live a life devoted to inquiry and closeness with animals.
Follow your instincts!
A New Jane Goodall.......2000-04-18
For those of us who may think we know Jane Goodall as theheroine of National Geographic specials, the champion of primateintelligence and animal rights, one of the great scientists of thetwentieth century, Africa in My Blood comes as a revelation. Here is the young girl and woman discovering life for the first time, having a crush on the local curate, writing to her best friend Sally and her "Darling Family," traveling by slow boat to Africa, and then launching the career that we have never seen through such fresh eyes. Most astonishing of all, it turns out that Jane Goodall is a splendid writer of letters, which are full of comic anecdotes and finely-observed details, capturing in vivid prose the immediate events of her life and much wonderful material not included in her other books. Dale Peterson has done a superb job of editing, organizing, and introducing this monumental collection, showing Goodall as both private and professional woman, in both intimate portrait and dazzling display of her gifts as a writer. One can only hope that a second volume is on its way soon. END

not too bad but some suggestions below.......2003-04-29
this book is a bit inconsistent but its Collins and for fans of Sonja it will be a decent book. For non Sonja Blue readers: read those, you will be much happier with them in general. Werewolf fans: Anita Blake has much more realized lyncanthropes.
Wolfchild's Review of Wild Blood.......2001-09-06
Well, to be quite honest, I could NOT put this book down. I found it to be a very entertaining book and it was VERY well written. I used to own this book until it was stolen from me and I'm very sad that it was. Every time I read it, I see something I didn't see before!
The story begins with Skinner Cade, away at college only to hear that his mother is dying in the hospital. He goes to see her and on her deathbed, it is revealed to him that he was adopted! Things begin to pick up from there as Skinner is thrown into a wild mix of constant action and werewolf society!
This book is a real page turner and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed every page! I give this book a VERY DESERVING 5 stars! Kudos to Nancy A. Collins!
Not worth the read.......2001-08-07
After getting a chance to read Laurell K. Hamilton, Wild Blood should be tossed into the trash. Even though its about werewolves and not vampires, the book is lackluster and the characters are dull and boring. Its too easy to guess where the plot is going, there are absolutely no surprises. Its a simple and quick read (took me an hour and a half to get through), which doesn't manage to get the reader involved in the story. I wish I had never stumbled across the author.
Nice Wolf....Story could have been better... 3 1/2 stars.......2000-01-23
After reading other books by Nancy Collins, this book fell short of my expectations. The story had a stong beginning but slowed down and became a little far fetched even for a Werewolf story. It seemed like the main charter was directed throughout the entire story. From how he found the band of werewolf's/to the great meeting/to the final battle. Just to many unrelated occurrences needed to happen for this story to work. I would recommednd this book for any Nancy Collins fan (I am a big fan of her work) but this would not be on my must read list.
One of Nancy Collins' best.......2000-01-07
This book was wonderful and refreshing after running into countless boring werewolf stories. I really enjoyed this new take on werewolves. The characters are fascinating, the plot is fast-paced and enjoyable, and the writing is high quality. Some scenes may not be for the faint-of-stomach, but then again, such people should perhaps not read modern horror in the first place.

wild blood.......2005-12-22
14and 11 months old, Tess is totally not looking forward to her birthday-her fifteenth when she will lose her ability to switch.
Tess is not an ordinary person and neither is her family. Wild blood flows in their veins.In this book Tess has a taste of her other life.The life every switcher can live.She sees the tough choice her uncle has made and compares his very ordinary life with the glamourous life of her other uncle.Tess has an experience of a lifetime with her glamourous uncle Declan.in the end she returns to what really counts. she returns to make a difference in the world!
"Do You Believe in the Good People?".......2005-04-11
"Wild Blood" is the final book in Kate Thompson's "Switchers" trilogy and deals with the inevitable choice that her young heroine Tess has to face: at the age of fifteen her Switcher powers come to an end, and she can choose either to remain human or to become any one of the animals that she can transform into permanently. To make things worse, her parents are going on holiday without her, and have sent her to stay with her Uncle Maurice, Aunt Dierdre and three cousins.
Life on the farm isn't too bad considering Tess now has a huge environment to explore, but she misses her fellow-Switcher Kevin who she needs to help her make a final decision. Furthermore, there are strange things happening at the farmhouse: odd-looking animals, shadowy figures in the woods and suspicious activity from her bad-tempered uncle and three secretive cousins. There is a mystery concerning the disappearance of Uncle Declan, and no one in the family is eager to talk about it.
And there is even more at risk - Uncle Maurice seems set to sell of the beautiful forest land to developers, and threatens to call up exterminators to rid the house of all the rats. Since Tess is on familiar terms with these rats, and since Kevin has finally gotten hold of her, she comes up with an ingenious way to save the rats, but a plan that has terrible consequences.
In the previous books "Switchers" and "Midnight's Choice" I was always rather confused at the emphasis that Thompson places on the rats, but now with a wonderful reworking of "The Pied Piper of Hamilton", it all makes sense. Thompson uses a wonderful blend of old folklore and fairy myth in order to create an interesting story that is superior to "Midnight's Choice," though not quite up to par with "Switchers". Although the final conflict and choice between opposing factions of the story are brought to quite an easy solution (even an abrupt one), readers who have followed Tess's story will get their questions answered.
For the first time I felt that I could relate better to Tess: she was rather distant in the previous books, but now finally she and Kevin come across as understandable, three-dimensional characters. Likewise, Uncle Maurice and the cousins Brian, Orla and Colm are interesting enough, but if you were a fan of Lizzie you'll be disappointed: she appears in the first couple of pages, imparts some more cryptic advice and then is gone. But she does better than Martin, who doesn't appear at all, and though Thompson does give us an update on his condition I was hoping for more character development on his behalf.
There are some components of the book that just don't work, namely the "Star Wars" references to the droids C3-PO and R2D2. Within the book there are Switching characters that turn into these droids, and visualising this borders on the ridiculous. How can one appreciate the mood of the Tuatha Da Dannan when there are science fiction characters from an entirely different story running around? All the instances in which they appear is extremely jarring, and often just plain silly: like when C3-PO tries to subdue a bear. I hope George Lucas doesn't sue.
Likewise, toward the end of the book the origins of the Switching powers are revealed, and as you may have guessed, it derives from the "wild blood" that is passed down from the Tuatha Da Dannan to their descendants. This is all very good and well, but in the first book "Switchers", Thompson establishes the fact that *all* children are born with Switching powers, though only a few discover and retain them. So what are we meant to believe? Are all children descended from the Tuatha? I highly doubt it, and therefore Thompson has contradicted the fundamental component of her trilogy.
Of all the Switchers books, I recommend the first installment - the next two never measure up to it, and may in fact leave readers disappointed and/or confused. It's up to you.
A little bit of a disappointing end to the trilogy........2001-06-01
Tess's fifteenth birthday is almost here. Soon she will have to decide her future -- and she must decide what form of an animal she will be for the rest of her life. When her parents send her to stay with her cousins for the summer on a rural farm out state, she realizes that she'll have to make her decision while she's there. But something is disturbing her, and it's something that has to do with the mysterious woods near the farm. As she tries to solve a dark mystery and avoid the rage of her tyrant Uncle Maurice, she becomes involved in ancient web of mystery and intrigue, and soon she is in utter danger. She has to keep herself from danger, but at the same time she has to make the biggest decision of her life. Her powers as a Switcher are almost up, and time is dwindling away. What animal will she choose to stay in forever? And will she ever get to see her fiteenth birthday? The final installment in Kate Thompson's fantastic fantasy Switchers trilogy, Wild Blood, was a little disappointing, and a bit boring. The story was just weak and not very suspenseful, and the plot kept repeating itself through the chapters. But I congratulate the author on writing this novel very well, and she constructs her paragraphs very beautifully. But, I had higher expectations in the conclusion of this wonderful trilogy. I recommend the Switchers trilogy to all fans of the Animorphs series, but though you may find the plot similiar, this trilogy is actually very different, and unique in its own way.

Good conclusion to the series.......2003-09-04
Overall this is a good book. It explains how Cherie's twins grow up in the human and elf worlds and how they meet up with each other when they are about 16. I liked how the elf/human relations were elaborated on but was disappointed in the ending; the book abruptly ended about two chapters after they had finally gotten to meet each other. It is almost as if the author was in the middle of a thought and then put "The End."
There are better books, but I'D buy it........1999-10-18
This book is reflected from two different view points- that of Ria, and that of her brother. Ria, a half elf, is raised amongst humans, and her brother raised amognst elves. Ria, promised to marry a boy who's like a brother to her, longs for the understanding of someone, while her brother wishes that all the elves that stand against him would not. Will Ria and her brother learn to live with the race that cares for each, or will the plans of agroup of people run awry, and the two races go sofar as to kill each other as they did before Ria?
Really really good! Thou shalt read! Now!.......1999-05-05
This is an extroidanrly (sp?) good book. It has an origenal (Goddess, my spelling needs some work!) plot and great people/elves in the book. Left me yearning for more. Enjoy, all ye goode book folk!
Wild Blood is a story that you can get lost in.......1997-10-17
Wild Blood, by Anne Logston is a captivating story that's so good that once you pick it up, you get lost in it, finding it hard to get back out and to put it down. If you have anything important to do don't start reading it or you might never accomplish what you have to do. The characters in this story seem like real people, because they're not too perfect. Often when you read stories the characters are unbelievable, and are often too perfect to be possible. but the characters Ria, and her twin brother are so realistic that its hard to imagine that they don't really exsist.
