The Purple Sky Book Two: Teh-Ghut-Sa and the Clear-People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781532004643)

Peter Barbieri's final novel in his trilogy continues with EMILY MADDING's journal; in it, Emily documents PALE-MOON's narration of life in her [Pale-Moon] ninth-century Native American village. Pale-Moon's connection to Emily, a woman living in the nineteenth century, enables the two women to dream-travel to each other's "time-band". Thus begins a celestial relationship that endures for centuries.

Emily frequently dream-travels to the ninth-century village and is present during the birth and much of the subsequent twenty-year life of Pale-Moon's nephew TEH-GHUT-SA. The narration recounts the periods during which Teh-Ghut-Sa undertakes two vision quests: the first at age thirteen; the second at age twenty.

As events unfold, an imbalance in the interstellar positive-negative polarity develops. Emily--her ability to "dream-travel" to time-bands within the past, present, and future--reveals several possibilities that would result if the balance tips in favor of the negative polarity. If the imbalance were to progress unaltered, mayhem and death would result.

When Teh-Ghut-Sa, age twenty, returns from his second vision quest, he becomes the target of a negative-polarity plot. The confrontation's eventual outcome will affect the lives of all beings residing in the known universe. A more immediate consequence: the stream of consciousness that had given rise to the mind-consciousness of many village inhabitants would be obliterated, along with the lives of those connected to it.
