Light tanning to text block:- Synopsis: The time: an uncomfortably close tomorrow. The place: one of the wildest and remotest on planet Earth - the lower Kolyma River watershed near the Koryak region of north-eastern Siberia. Here a beautiful young woman, Satchi, half Russian and half Koryak, is drawn reluctantly into the primal, sometimes horrific way of life of the native reindeer herdsmen when they take her from a wrecked research outpost to their distant camp. Despite her misgivings, Satchi's fascination with the herder clan grows - especially when she discovers that they are probably the last in Siberia to live the old way, even though they do from time to time deliver reindeer meat to a mysterious team of Americans and Russians at a secret camp in the tundra. As Satchi's involvement with the Koryak's intensifies - due largely to a mystical possession experience she has when her spirit fuses with that of a raven during a funeral ceremony - she is unaware that sinister, lethal forces from the encroaching outside world are gathering against her. For, although she does not know it, her disappearance has made her a heroine to some - and a deadly enemy to those desperate to hide their destructive plans under a cloak of deepest darkness. The hunt is on - and Satchi is the prey:-Review(s): "As with 'Shadow Hunter' and 'Star Beast', his earlier acclaimed novels, Will Baker has created in 'The Raven Bride' a gripping story of the natural world in conflict with the forces of a near-future technology":- (original cost £16.99).
