Book Description
An historical novel about the disappearance of the Mayan civilization. One of the Mayans, not wanting to continue in his father's business, involves himself in government and discovers he can associate with the rich and powerful and be favored by them with offers of property and power. He finds himself obliged to support one or another of two powerful factions. The first part of the story covers his social and political life in helping build a new city. Later, he is obliged to go to the land of the Aztecs to learn warfare and return to his homeland to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of the Quiche. Oza, the Mayan, finds that treachery by one of the Mayan leaders leads to the threat of an invasion by an Aztec army, even after the leader is murdered by a rival. The only solution Oza offers the political leaders who were pawns in the treachery and bankruptcy of the nation is exile. While one group flees further south, Oza leads his group to the Pacific Ocean where they can sail away to distant lands for refuge.

Book Description
“Brand X and his fellow coyotes . . . are meticulously observed in the desert environment that Ms. Popham seems to know like her backyard. And so are the people of this fable—old Hallie and Albert . . . and the several varmint-hunters, callous or alcoholic or both. There is a parable of how we might relate to the creatures that share the world with us; and a parable of dreams versus realty; and a parable of home, of known territory with its comparative safety; and a parable of making the best of a world short of everything. The people and the creatures of Ms. Popham’s fable are right, they belong, and they mean.” —Wallace Stegner “This spare and affecting novel has the precision and the stinging sweetness of a fable. A wonderful book.” —Thomas McGuane “Refreshing . . . Life-affirming . . . The first book I’ve read in a long time that left me with teary eyes at the end.”—The San Diego Tribune “Captivating . . . The animals’ arduous westward journey down the Colorado River to the Gulf suggests a coyote world view that is subtly sustained by their mysterious ways.” —Publishers Weekly “With dramatic urgency and imaginative tenderness, Melinda Popham has given the world a painful, poetic, and delightfully unpredictable story that pulsates with hope and healing meaning.” —Al Young, California Poet Laureate Emeritus “Rich with poetic resonance.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “Evoking a rich sense of place and animal behavior, [Popham] lets us see through very different eyes.” —The Seattle Times “A daring and visionary tale. [Popham] dares to tell us what a coyote thinks and sees and feels and dreams. . . . A hero of the classic kind—a furry, howling, water-seeking version of the Hero with a Thousand Faces.” —James D. Houston “Masterful . . . Astonishing . . . Remarkable . . . Put down the latest technothriller and bask awhile in the descriptive prose of Skywater.” —L.A. Life
