Sky Coyote (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645061182)

". . . [and a] deliciously wicked platform for satirizing past, present and all-too-likely future human frailties. . . ." --Publishers Weekly "Agreeably subversive, sometimes hilarious." --Kirkus ReviewsIn 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 . . . ?
