The Last Sunrise

The Last Sunrise is the story of General George Custer's historic fight along the Little Bighorn River, as seen through the eyes of Marcus Reno, Black Elk, and some of the other officers and warriors who were there. It is not the simple rehearsal of a familiar story. With careful attention to historical fact and detail, the author puts the sights, the noise, and smell and terror of the battle to pages for the readers. Shane Barker wrote this historical novel to allow readers to experience the fight, to know what it was like to really be there. This story puts the readers right in the saddle alongside Mitch Boyer and Crazy Horse, bringing them face-to-face with Sitting Bull, Frederick Benteen, and George Armstrong Custer himself. It differs from other books because it examines the Little Bighorn fight from the viewpoints of both troopers and Indians, and because it incorporates the most current, most up-to-date research and evidence. It includes newly discovered details that were unknown to Walter Camp or Stephen Ambrose or any of the classic Custer biographers, and it will appeal to fans of both western and historical novels, and to readers of war and military fiction.
