Summary: Inkarri - The Review
Review: I've enjoyed reading this first published work of Ryan Miller and would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially if one is interested in South American cultures/religions. There are Christian religion themes as well as themes relating to ancient Inca religions. The dilemma of one man having faith versus another who has lost his faith versus a man who believes that he is an Inca god reincarnated makes for a climatic resolution.

Summary: Excellent start by a new author
Review: Inkarri, the first book of Ryan Miller, is a wonderful start to what promises to be a writing career full of potential should Mr. Miller choose to continue (and the book screams out for a sequel!).

Set in our time, in the jungles of Peru from where the Incan empire once ruled over much of South America, we find ourselves tagging along with an unlikely protagonist, James, and some of his equally unlikely friends; Manuel, and William.

This book pulls us deep into a world of ancient mythology, where Incan religion and Norse religion collide, while all at the same time, we have the whole lot conflicting against the modern world, and its spirituality (represented by Christianity).

This book is quite like Neil Gaiman's _American Gods_ in some ways, and yet very different. There is still room for growth in Mr. Miller's writing style and such, but overall, a wonderful and enjoyable read that makes you think.
