"Quite and adventure tale, a love story, and a damned good ecological drama!" ANNE McCAFFREY The jungles of the planet Ver Day were unforgiving to natives--and death for offworlders. Sled-hauler Sal... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It has a little of everything in it--sci-fi, romance, humor, violence. Just read it and you'll see.
A Rewarding Adventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I have to admit I was reluctant to read this book. My brother-in-law recommended it and knowing his tastes I was a bit hesitant. You see, he reads books by the case and his memory tends to run the stories together a bit, making a recomendation of his somewhat chancy. In this case he was right on the mark. I found the story so engaging that I couldn't put it down. I have re-read the book about 3 times and it gives me the same amount of pleasure as the first. Denise Heald is a voice that I want to hear again, I would love to hear of anything she was working on. It is so rare that a first novel just wows me like this. Sure there are flaws, small ones, but they are more than made up by the original story, the gritty details, the realistic characters, and the very hot love story.Personally I intend to buy a couple of copies as Christmas presents and one for myself. The truth is, I never did give my Brother-in-laws copy back to him.
Ecological adventure to the max!

Denis Lopes Heald's first book, "Mistwalker", is extremely entertaining and lush with vivid descriptions of the jungle on the planet Ver Day. The 'green', as the 'greenie' Ver Day natives call it, is filled with exotic animals that put Earth's jungle creatures to shame. As well, the government, or 'govies', is another interesting level to the story, and Meesha Raschad's life story and enemies from MB-2 adds another heap of an entertaining plot. I hope that Denise Heald will someday come out with another book, because "Mistwalker" was published by Del Rey Discovery in 1994! Well, let's just wait and see.
We need another book by this author!

Mistwalker has something for everyone. Suspense, mystery, romance, science fiction.....reminds me a little of Australian outback or Wild West novels.. yet, it holds together as a single narrative. When the mistwalker walked by, my skin tingled... Just plain fun!
Loved the book. Read it several times. Where's the sequel?

This was a fun book to read with a great concept for the story's setting. I've been waiting (in vain) for the sequel or anything else by this author.
