The Shadow of the Serpent: A Coyote Moon Story — James Joseph

Set in prehistoric North America, Shadow of the Serpent is a wildly original tale of nomadic peoples, exotic civilizations, and the inevitable struggle for dominance. The most powerful nomads ever known rule the plains, forests and mountains of ancient America. The Minnecou tribe faces the end of their way of life if they succumb to the awesome power generated by a sophisticated and oppressive culture. Using a masterful blend of myth and mysticism, James Joseph dispels the illusions of "civilization", exposing not only its weakness, but the obsession to control.

This action-packed adventure is a tale of epic proportions, steadily luring the reader into an indigenous mindset, and providing the experience of facing a civilization with fantastic powers. A haunting and entertaining blend, destined to bring about a whole new genre of fiction.
