dude Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thoroughly enjoying this story! Link to comment
Pedro Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I am greatly enjoying this tale. The author has several other tales posted. They are in various different theme categories some of which are definitely not to my taste. Another post apocalyptic tale I enjoyed was ' at days end www.nifty.org/ nifty/gay/sf-fantasy/at-days-end/ Some of his stories appear incomplete . I hope this doesn't happen with 'the last shaman' Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 15 is now up and the end of book one. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 That was a surprise that he ended with book one, but at least he justified it with the amount of research etc., that he does. I shall wait impatiently for the next book. Link to comment
dude Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yes... this story has me hooked. He told me he's working on Book Two as we speak. Link to comment

dude Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I agree about the run-on sentences. Didn't notice them at all as I read with a text reader. Really good story and what a catalog of characters! Link to comment

Lugnutz Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks for the update, I almost forgot about this one. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks Mike. I'm very interested to see where the story goes. {--} Wow, that was a short story in itself. Link to comment
Pedro Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Bump Chapter three of part two now posted. I really like this tale, part 2 even better than part 1, based on the evidence so far. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The American Native beliefs as depicted in The Last Shaman are, for atheist me, quite acceptable in the story. The Creator is presented as a belief of Ravenhawk in the story and as such doesn't confront the beliefs of the others. The evil pastor however did use his religion as a demand to be obeyed, in attempt to control those around him. There's a difference between custom that does no harm, and irrational faith where such faith is a threat to the freedom of opinion and its expression. However, the atheist position of admitting that we cannot accept belief without evidence is not challenged by eloquent mythology when it is presented as myth.. Learning to live with the beauty of myth is part of the journey of our evolving understanding of our consciousness; our appreciation of reality. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 The truth can hurt. All in all, it's not bad and I believe Manuel does get his at the end of the last book l. Link to comment

colinian Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Will have to wait till I get home since it's blocked. They blocked your internet access to AD? That seems bogus. Colin Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nah. Dudes is cool, but most everywhere else, you can't get. This is a hospital ya know. Link to comment
dude Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 They're probably blocking Nifty...... which is where The Last Shaman is hosted. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Not a big surprise there. I have a lot of reading to catch up on here anyway. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Up to chapter 6 now. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm thinking that our hot weather here in Adelaide (near 40F) would make for a really good sweat lodge. I could then go on a vision quest to find out what I can do to help politicians be intelligent. Or perhaps not... Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chapter 11 seems to be the end since it said 'The end' at the end of the chapter. http://nifty.nisusnet.com/nifty/gay/sf-fantasy/the-last-shaman/ Link to comment
