About this audiobook

Katsuk, a militant Native American student, has kidnapped thirteen-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.

Written at a time when the acts of the American Indian Movement (AIM) were frequently covered by all the U.S. national media, Soul Catcher touches on sympathetic themes from then (& now) without romanticizing, at all. The antihero, Katsuk, reveals his motives in direct narrative so that his sacrificial victim is a fully informed one - who must ultimately "ask" for his execution. A great piece of literature that is frequently overshadowed by the Dune saga, I found it absolutely captivating.
