Alvin is a Maker, the first to be born in a century. Now a grown man and a journeyman smith, Alvin has returned to his family in the town of Vigor Church. He will share in their isolation, work as a blacksmith, and try to teach anyone who wishes to learn the knack of being a Maker. For Alvin has had a vision of the Crystal City he will build, and he knows that he cannot build it alone. But he has left behind, in Hatrack River, true friends as well as enemies. And his ancient foe, the Unmaker, whose cruel whispers and deadly plots have threatened Alvin's life at every turn, has found new hands to do his work of destruction.Don't miss other titles in the Tales of Alvin Maker series.©1995 Orson Scott Card (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.

I have been devouring this series, and this book is an excellent part of the journey where we get to see so many story lines come together. The narration by Blackstone Audio's team is wonderful, and I have come to recognize each character's voice actor so they really do feel like that would be their own. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors, and I think this series is even more captivating than the first of his that captured my imagination, the Ender series.

This series has me enthralled!

I found this book to be a remarkable and engaging recast of the American Frontier progression across the continent. The mystical fascination of alchemical gifts, 'knacks,' provides some of the actual background that excited the early Mormon movement into a more universal, modern compositon in the Alvin series is an inspiriation for those of us with similar interest if not religious affiliation. A great read years ago and audio revisit now.
