Four Days of Silence is what critics mean when they talk about good
escapist entertainment. Drawing on many classic western
conventions, but always maintaining an originality and freshness,
Larry D. Clark's novel is a story of violence and brutality
contrasted by gentleness and love. It is the story of Adam
Chandler, willing to sacrifice everything to retrieve over 23
million dollars in gold taken from his great-grandfather by hostile
Indians in the high Simcoe Mountains of Washington State. Already,
the lure of the gold has called three generations of Chandlers to
their deaths. An Indian/white man love triangle over an Indian
girl, an ancient legend surrounding intrusion of the Yakama
Indians' sacred land in the Simcoe Mountains, a curse carried by
the Chandler family, and a volcanic eruption during Adam Chandler's
own death ceremony add up to a page-turner. Chandler finds himself
suspended over a bed of one hundred rattlesnakes - the death pit of
his ancestors - at the hands of the Ancient Ones. He finally
understands the Yakama Indians' secret as he stares down at his
great-grandfather's skeleton in the death pit. The will of the
Yakamas to preserve the secret of the Ancient Ones in the high
Simcoes is as strong as Adam Chandler's will to fulfill his own
family's destiny as both Levi Strongbull and Adam Chandler struggle
over their individual compulsions and their love for the same
woman. From beginning to end, Four Days of Silence offers strong
action and fine characterizations in an engrossing story that adds
up to great entertainment and a quick read.
