内容説明
As the Moon of No Dark waxes large, the clans fall prey to a horrifying sickness. Fear stalks the Forest. No one knows the cause—and only Torak can find the cure.
His quest takes him across the sea to the mysterious islands of the Seal Clan. Here, Torak battles an unseen menace and uncovers a betrayal that will change his life—forever.
著者について
Michelle Paver was born in central Africa, but moved to England as a child. After earning a degree in biochemistry from Oxford University, she became a partner in a London law firm, but eventually gave that up to write full-time.
Chronicles of Ancient Darkness arises from her lifelong passions for animals, anthropology, and the distant past. It was also inspired by her travels in Norway, Lapland, Iceland, and the Carpathian Mountains—and particularly by an encounter with a large bear in a remote valley in Southern California.

最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー
形式:CD
面白かった。面白かったのは前巻も同じだが、その度合いが倍増している。作者の腕も上がったのではないか。海に出て行くあたりからどんどん面白くなって、読むスピードも増した。前は面白がりながらも少しずつしか読めない感じがあったが、今回はどんどん行けたので早かった。謎がまた一つ解けて、シリーズ全体の今後の展開も明らかになる。どんどん面白くなりそうで楽しみだ。それにしても映画化の話はどうなったのだろうか。うまく作るとかなり面白いと思うのだが。
形式:ハードカバー
歴史の話を変えたり、また古代に生きた人々を主人公とした話はたくさんありますが、あまり確実な情報の無い石器時代についての物語はほとんどありません。作者さんの想像力は、とても優れたものだと思います。
しかし、「オオカミ族の少年」（wolf brother）を読んだときに感じた期待は少し裏切られたような気がします。ヨーロッパにありがちな、「正義対悪」のパターンによりはまっているからです。そうでないと物語が成り立たないのかもしれませんが、キリスト教という理念が無かったと思われる石器時代に、善悪ははっきりと区別がついていたのでしょうか。その部分が疑問だったので、星は4つにしておきました。また次回作に期待です。

Reels you in like a fish on a line!

形式:ハードカバー
Once I started reading the first page, I couldn't put it down. Written with careful planning, it keeps your hand turning the pages until you reach the end. It has a very unsuspecting ending, and along the way your heart is always pounding as if you were really in the book. You feel like you ARE Torak, and you feel everything that he feels - his anger, happiness, frustration, despair...Ms. Paver has wonderful talent. I wish I could write like she does!

A well-written and thrilling installment in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series
2006/3/25
形式:ハードカバー
Although he is still reeling from the violent death of his father and the loss of his "soul" mate, Wolf, Torak has found a kind of peace living with the Raven Clan. As he tries to sort out his life, he has developed a growing fondness for its leader, Fin-Kedinn, and a kinship with the gentle people. In a single moment, however, all of this changes when he encounters a sick hunter from another clan.
The sick man had yanked handfuls of hair from his scalp and beard, leaving patches of raw, oozing flesh. His face was crusted with thick honey-colored scabs like birch canker. Slime bubbled in his throat as he spat out the last of the hair --- then sat back on his heels, and began scratching a rash of blisters on his forearm.
With his heart filled with dread, Torak returns to warn the Clan of the fever that is spreading. To his horror he finds that the mad sickness has already made its claim. Where could this be coming from? Was it possible that it had something to do with the Soul-Eaters and the warnings his father had given him? With a jolting realization, Torak knows he must find the source of this sickness. Thus begins a most perilous journey --- a journey to find the cure and a journey that unfolds a past that Torak will find hard to accept.
This story is told in two voices --- one from Torak and the other from his spirit brother, Wolf. Wolf refers to Torak and other humans as Tall Tailless. His voice offers views of all the confusion, which seems to result from human greed. Although Wolf does not understand the complexities of these things, he senses good and evil and the need to protect Torak. His ultimate goal is to be reunited with Torak and his journey parallels that of his spirit brother's.
Torak builds friendships within the Seal Clan but also tragically discovers a darker secret in someone he trusted. His problems have become deeper and more complex in this story, especially as he begins to comprehend that he is a Spirit Walker. Renn, the Mage apprentice (much like a spirit advisor), is again his companion and once more proves herself to be a true friend and warrior.
SPIRIT WALKER is every bit as good, if not better, than WOLF BROTHER. There is yet another book to look forward to and the possibility of a movie. Michelle Paver is in the winner's circle with this trilogy.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are vivid and you are on the edge of your seat until you find out what happens to them. A must read. The first book in this series is very good also.
