Retrospect

the long version

"'Retrospect: A Future Recalled Experience' is an unusual blending of Southwestern Pueblo Indian ritual and mythological stories as told in a fictional style. The novel contains actual tales told by the writer's grandfather in addition to transcripts of ceremonial visions experienced by the author. During the characters' pilgrimage to seek a type of 'Holy Grail, ' speculations abound when discussing 'ancient alien' theories as a possible bond throughout history. In the aftermath of a nuclear conflagration, our protagonists discover the true nature of creation and reality. The story's final outcome will surprise the reader as much as it surprised the characters."--
