Neitherworld is a deliciously weird mix of alien races, Native American culture and government intrigue. Archaeologist Samantha Horner has excavated a unique site in Minnesota-a site that piqued the interest of crooked government agents and which houses the body of 17th-century shaman Voice-in-the-Sky. In Book 2, ten year-old Orenda-herself a descendent of Voice-in-the-Sky-has mysteriously transported Horner and her dig team to a far-off world. Horner realizes that the conflicts surrounding her dig has taken on interstellar import and that the nefarious designs of corrupt Washington agents are the least of their problems. Humanity is endangered by the Lupok, an alien race hell-bent on conquering Earth. Ishpiming is an even stranger and more ambitious work than its predecessor. Readers will remain entranced by this new world filled with strange creatures, extraterrestrial landscapes and startling alien races vying for galactic ascendancy. An audacious but thoroughly enthralling fantasy.
