Produktbeschreibung

Paralyzed from the latest attempt on her life, Sara returns to Colorado where Charlie promises to help her regain her health. While some progress is made, before they can restore her ability to walk the unthinkable happens, which disrupts and redirects their plans.

Having promised his grandfather, Eaglefeathers, that someday he would complete his four-day ceremonial fast, Charlie journeys to the Sacred Mountain where he experiences a series of visions that reveal the full scope of his destiny which includes restoring the ancient Earth Giving Ceremony known as the Massaum.

A Peace Gathering of Indigenous Leaders is scheduled for later that year. Has the time come at last for all tribes to band together to fulfill Black Cloud's curse as well as another 19th century prophecy?

Phase I of the PURF complex is complete. A gala open house to celebrate is scheduled to occur around the same time as the Gathering. While the underground facility is filled to the brim with lobbyists, contractors, and government officials, not far away a host of First Nation Americans are entrenched in a ceremony celebrating an ancient prophecy that promises to restore them to their land.

What could possibly go wrong?

Autorenporträt

Marcha Fox has loved science fiction since she was a child with the stars always holding a strong sense of mystery and fascination. Her love of astronomy resulted in a bachelor of science degree in physics from Utah State University followed by a 21 year career at NASA where she held a variety of positions including technical writer, engineer and eventually manager. Her NASA experience was primarily at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas but included trips to Cape Canaveral in Florida, visiting other Centers in Mississippi, Alabama and Maryland as well as visits to the European Space Agency in The Netherlands. Her most memorable experience, however, was the sad task of helping to recover space shuttle debris in East Texas following the tragic Columbia accident in 2003. "NASA was a great career experience, but writing is what I've always wanted to do. To me there is nothing more exhilarating than bringing a character to life."

She has made it a point to "do the math" regarding various elements in her books to assure accuracy and hoping to instill an interest in science and engineering to her readers in an enjoyable and entertaining way. She admits that Cyraria's figure-8 orbit around a binary star system is a bit of a stretch but maintains it is mathematically feasible even though it would be unstable with life on such a planet beyond challenging with its seasonal extremes. "But that's what makes it a good setting for the story," she adds.

Born in Peekskill, New York she has lived in California, Utah and Texas in the course of raising her family and currently resides in the Texas Hill Country. Whether "Refractions of Frozen Time," the fourth and final volume of the Star Trails Tetralogy series will be the last she states, "These characters have a life of their own and may move on to other adventures."

Before publishing "The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon" Marcha wanted to confirm her portrayal of Native American culture and the story's protagonist, Charlie Littlewolf, was accurate as well as not offensive in any manner. She was fortunate enough to find Pete Risingsun, an enrolled member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe, who did the honors. Pete offered insights and changes, but best of all, was so taken with the story he ultimately became its co-author.

Marcha's experience as a retired NASA engineer and seasoned author of the science fiction series, "The Star Trails Tetralogy," combined perfectly with Pete's knowle...
