Anasazi Harvest

Rating:
Summary: Scrambled Notions
Review: I am an adult so maybe my expectations were too high. It fails as Science Fiction because it is not logical. It implies that a Navaho is a descendant of an Anasazi. That is the most egregious error. I was very disappointed.

Summary: What happened to the Anasazi Indians?
Review: The answer to this question is revealed to Navajo guide Chaco Rivers Joseph in a most unexpected and bizarre manner. Characters come to vivid life in this fast moving tale. The reader is transported into a colorful land of small towns, sparse water and wooded mesas. Expect surprises and adrenalin rushes. Rich, brightly hued descriptions delightfully depict local flora and fauna, the landscape and its inhabitants. This is one you'll remember!

Summary: This is Tony Hillerman with a sci-fi twist!
Review: This book is a great mix of mystery and sci-fi, and has a way of pulling you into the story line early on. It's set in the Southwest, and weaves Native American customs and stories into the plot; this gives the tale an added layer of mystery that I really enjoyed.

Mr. Waldrip has a style similar to Tony Hillerman, but his descriptions, characters, and plot are all his own. His ideas about how our society would handle such a situation are fascinating. I enjoy books that keep me thinking about their message after I'm done reading them; Mr. Waldrip managed to hold my attention throughout the book, and beyond. I look forward to reading more of his works!

Summary: A pleasant surprise and a very interesting read
Review: Was I surprised when I got into this book. I don't normally read the kind of book I thought this was; a friend gave me a copy, so I did. And I'm so glad I did! It was a really interesting, well-written story. It engaged my attention immediately and kept it throughout. And it left me wondering: Yes, it's fiction; but maybe this--or something like it--has actually happened. It COULD have happened. And maybe it WILL happen! A really good read.

Summary: A different kind of alien story -- believable, memorable.
Review: With the glut of alien stories don't think the scene has been defined. This book takes a startlingly different look. Your semi-civilized, other side will be nudged awake by this tale of a Navajo guide troubled by strange happenings in his Farmington, N.M. community: murderous events and strange dreams. Chaco Rivers Joseph makes a bizarre discovery -- something that will involve him in a war between alien forces determined to be the sole benefactors of the Anasazi heritage. An unforgettable experience! Your concept of "aliens" will change forever.
