Pale Face

Litlinks Review

Pale Face by W.D. Kilpack III is a thought-provoking blend of science fiction, mysticism, and deep character study.

The story centers on Hector Whitehorse, a man caught between two worlds—his Navajo heritage and the “white man’s” world in which he was educated. When Hector has a close encounter that leaves him trapped between Earth and an alien reality, the narrative explores themes of identity, belonging, and the repercussions of the unknown.

The book is notable for its vivid character portrayal and rich descriptive writing, with some reviewers highlighting Kilpack’s ability to intertwine Navajo mysticism and metaphysical intrigue.

The plot combines fast-paced sci-fi elements with deeper reflections on race, culture, and alienation. Fans of suspense, conspiracy thrillers, and character-driven stories will find much to enjoy in this novella. Kilpack’s writing is original and possesses emotional depth. Pale Face is an immersive read that offers both entertainment and substance.

An outcast loner survives the impossible. How can he survive becoming the proof that no one can deny? Hector Whitehorse did not belong — not here, not anywhere. Born on a New Mexico reservation, but educated in the white-man’s school, Hector was part of two worlds, but at home in neither. It only got worse when his entrapment went from a feeling to a reality: trapped between Earth and someplace else. Hector’s close encounter nearly cost him his life. The repercussions could make him wish that he had not been so lucky.
