Thunder Nation

Magic & myth combine into an authentic modern epic of the American West in this important new novel by the acclaimed author of THE POWWOW HIGHWAY & SWEET MEDICINE. The NY Times called David Seals "A Master Trickster", & Booklist said "SWEET MEDICINE (Crown, 1992) is a comic masterpiece." THUNDER NATION continues with the eloquent, allegorical style begun in the 1979 best-seller THE POWWOW HIGHWAY, following the wonderful adventures of the mythic & historical Cheyenne poet-chief Sweet Medicine. This time the coyote-trickster manifests as an actor & media mogul named Michael Hankins, who promptly violates cyberspace with his armed Medicine Wheel movie studio in the Black Hills - just up the road from Mount Rushmore. After provoking both environmentalists & energy multinationals to go to war, he runs off to continue his tumultuous love affair with the great goddess of the Rocky Mountains, White Buffalo Woman. Homeric in sweep & style, THUNDER NATION is equal to the wild immeasurable power of North America & all its peoples, gods & demons.
