Soliah makes a deal with Huck, if he agrees to fight alongside him and his men, Soliah will release Huck's crew from their horrible prison in purgatory.

Five years pass and on a hot summer afternoon, Huck finds himself staring into the face of an old Ojibwe Indian, named Odd Whitefeather. He too claims to be Huck's grandfather. He also explains that there is much to do and very little time to waste. Huck soon learns that this is no ordinary fellow, Odd Whitefeather is a powerful Medicine Man. Huck also suspects that he might be a little bit crazy.

Odd Whitefeather summons the spirits of his own grandfather, Crooked Walker, and that of his grandfather's grandfather, the ancient one known as Dog Breath. They are both hard men with powerful magic of their own. The three of them must teach Huck the ways of the Ojibwe so that they can defeat Soliah. Huck will travel back in time and there he will meet his wife, Man Killer. The problem is that he must return to his own time, and she can't follow.

Huck will be tried many times over and will be forced to endure things that cause him to pray for death. He is joined on his quest by Odd Whitefeather's friends in the forest. The beasts can speak here, and together they set off on an epic journey like no other.

Review by: Deb7680 on Dec. 08, 2010 :
Before starting Brindle's Oddysey, I was told it had a 'killer romance' as one of the main themes and I agree. However, that's not what I was left with. There is humor, adventure, romance (an epic romance), and fun but overall, the story is dark. The trials and tribulations of the main character are just as epic as the romance. It centers on the question of whether our lives are simply to be endured while we wait for the promised after-life or to be lived to the fullest? To be a good person, does one have to sacrifice? Very thought provoking and entertaining.
