Free Shaman: The Adventures Of Rhys Llewellyn Ebooks To Download
The stories in this collection were first published in Analog, a science fiction magazine, between 1990 and 2011. They feature the adventures of eccentric kilt-wearing anthropologist, archaeologist, and xenologist Rhys Llewellyn and his able assistants, Yoshi Umeki and Roderick Halfax. Given my fascination with archaeology, first contact...and all things Scottish, I suppose these stories were inevitable.

(This review previously appeared at Goodreads)This is a reprint of several SF short pieces that first appeared in Analog Science Fiction Magazine. They all concern the adventures of eccentric kilt-wearing anthropologist/archaeologist/xenologist Rhys Llewellyn and his trusty assistants Yoshi Umeki and Roderick Halfax. These are not merely tales of first contact - they are also tales of how an innovative senior officer at an exploration corporation hires an anthropologist to make sure that both the corporation and the natives are dealt with fairly.Rhys both listens and watches very closely, and he rarely, if ever, assumes anything. Such is his genius. In these tales, he grows and changes, using his strengths and working on his weaknesses. All too often he is misunderstood and underestimated by his peers, and that just adds to the fun.These look like they might be simple tales. They are anything but, with lots of social commentary. They also have a deep respect for the concept of spirit. I really enjoyed them, and hope that Bohnhoff writes more tales of Rhys Llewellyn!I found these perfect for my Kindle, BTW -- something wonderful to dip into while waiting in lines, etc..
Great short stories. I like the fact that the stories flow from one to the next while still being standalone works. I listened to the narration of this book and it was easy to follow while walking. The characters are likable and believable.
A very interesting stories of an xenobiologist.Aliens that are alien and have specific codes that most don't bother with and our hero does.It is definitely a society satire that show what comes from not bothering to understand others.
What a delightful collection! I'm so glad to see stories that show how intelligence, knowledge and compassion, not to mention ingenuity and a wicked sense of humor, are potent weapons in solving problems with newly-discovered alien races. In a way that is neither simple-minded nor condescending, the characters make their way through mystery and trade negotiations and hostage situations to find startling and ultimately deeply satisfying solutions. More, more!
