Review of 'The color of lightning' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A riveting fictionalization of the life of Britt Johnson, little known African-American Texas hero, in the footsteps of Le May's The Searchers. Realistic and with the Indians' viewpoint - absent in other accounts. At times has an other worldly quality - the accounts of the returned abducted children and their fates read like space alien abduction stories - but maybe that is where alien abduction stories come from.
