Saving the Chumash...

Just finished "Sky Coyote" by Kage Baker
It tells of a tribe in what will eventually be California that is quite advanced but, like all of the interests of the Company, is doomed to be lost. Sending back hundreds of Company staff, immortals as usually as well as mortals from the future, they record and take samples of everything they can lay their hands on that has anything to do with this tribe, even the people themselves. Baker does a very good job of dealing with different cultures at different levels and with different experiences. I liked this book a little more than the first one. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Nice new layout. :)
Re: book. Where is it set again? Or, rather, when? You lost me in the "advanced pre-California" part, lol.
Thanks... You'll probably notice that I've made another little change now.
This one is set in the place where the U.S. state of California will one day be. As for when, I believe it's somewhere between the British reign of "Bloody Mary" and Victoria. Something like that. Not sure though.
Oh, okay. Thanks, I get it now. I guess I just got confused because you always seem to be reading sci-fi books.
This is a sci-fi book. Just set in the past, courtesy of time travel and immortality... Cool, huh?
