About this ebook
". . . [and a] deliciously wicked platform for satirizing past, present and all-too-likely future human frailties. . . ." —Publishers Weekly
"Agreeably subversive, sometimes hilarious." —Kirkus Reviews
In his twenty thousand years as a Company agent, Facilitator Joseph has been a priest in Egypt, a secretary to a Roman senator and a legionary, was in Byzantium for the Crusades, and rescued the Botanist Mendoza from the Spanish Inquisition. But none of these could have prepared him for his current role: Sky Coyote, a god to the Chumash people, here to save one chosen village from their destruction by white invaders—by whisking them into the future on behalf of the Company. Should be easy for a god . . . right?
Instead, Joseph must convince a wary and skeptical people that he is acting in their interests, helped (and sometimes hindered) by other Company agents, including his estranged protégé Mendoza and Company representatives from the twenty-fourth century. And that’s before the village is infiltrated by a spy preaching on behalf of a competing religion, one who sees Sky Coyote as the source of all evil.
It’s a lot for a god to juggle. And Joseph can’t help but wonder—if he does manage to save the villagers, what exactly is the Dr. Zeus Company saving them for . . . ?
