Dael and the Painted People (Book 3 in the Zan-Gah Series)
"The nightly tribal rituals of drums and flutes, playing to the setting sun, became for Dael a battery of sensations too intense to endure. Twice, while the drummers were communicating with the glowing orb- for Dael of a color more brilliant then blood- he fainted away, writhing, groaning, and speaking in a tongue his adopted people did not understand." Dael and the Painted People by Allan Richard Shickman (Book 3 in Zan-Gah Series)

I devoured this book as soon as I got it.  I love this little known prehistoric series about Zan-Gah and his brother Dael.
