This book fed my appetite for Native American knowledge. I was immersed in their ancient past and the reader can really feel the anguish of life out of hard scrabble. There is genuine fear in this book, and the good guys dont always win. Like true life! One can imagine what it was like for the earliest people in North America with thier concerns and culture. Good reading! It increased my education on Native Americans and places I hope to go as soon as its possible. Margaret went there and brought back her imagination and all the colour from these real sites.

How good to discover this is now on Goodreads. I loved this book. Margaret Murray has succeeded in mating the world of fast-paced Silicon Valley technology with a predecessor world as ancient and basic as a sandstone formation. We Californians secretly live in both natural and high-tech environments by turns, but it took this fictional expedition by Murray's characters to meld them in a truly innovative adventure.Tony Hillerman's recommendation, "Don't miss it," was absolutely correct.
