Lord of the Dead skillfully immerses the reader in the strange and murky worlds of human origins, archaeological secrecy, and ancient cultures. With believable characters, a fast-paced plot, and a fantastic premise at its heart, Lisa A. Shiel's book is one not to be missed by anyone with an interest in the mysteries of this world and beyond.

The pace is frenetic and the story lends plausibility to a number of evolution theories.

Shiel uses her extensive knowledge of archaeology, anthropology, and Bigfoot to write a very rich story. I really enjoyed the exploration of the ancient cultures and their traditions. I would highly recommend this book to readers that have an open mind about the origin of man and who enjoy fast paced stories that involve alternative histories about ancient cultures.

[Lord of the Dead] picks up where [The Hunt for Bigfoot] left off, more or less. When you read the book, you’ll be carried along by the action...I could see these books being made into movies: life and death situations, narrow escapes, mysterious characters abound. This is a great adventure story. You may even pick up a bit of history now and then.
