Book Description

June 1998
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

With the glut of alien stories (Aliens, Encounters, Terminators, Predators, X Files, etc.) in the news, the reader may be tempted to think that the alien scene has been defined. Not so! This book takes a startlingly different look.
Your semi-civilized, other side will be nudged awake by this tale of a Navajo guide troubled by strange happenings in his Farmington, New Mexico community: murderous events and strange dreams. Chaco Rivers Joseph makes a bizarre discovery --- something that will involve him in a war between alien forces determined to be the sole benefactors of the Anasazi heritage.
Characters come to vivid life in this fast moving tale. The reader is transported into a colorful land of small towns, sparse water and wooded mesas. Expect surprises and adrenalin rushes. Rich, brightly hued descriptions delightfully depict local flora and fauna, the landscape and its inhabitants. An unforgettable experience! Your concept of “aliens” will change forever.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

R. Leland Waldrip

After a full career in sales and computer software engineering, Mr. Waldrip, an American University graduate, writes books as a vocation. His novels have a logic and discipline, clarity of style and expression developed through designing logic for large, complex computer software systems. They are vibrant stories of predator and prey, perpetrator and victim, hunter and quarry, as seen from the perspective of a life-long passion for observing people and animals in their native habitat. Whether the novels are set in wilderness (The Last Grizzly), small western town and countryside (Anasazi Harvest), or polaroid, steel and concrete of the city (The Vigilante Virus), his characters embroider these unique stories with vivid color and action.
Mr. Waldrip and wife Linda live with four Jack Russell Terriers in their log home near the Rappahannock River in northern Virginia where he spends his time hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, observing nature, writing and publishing.
OTHER BOOKS BY R. LELAND WALDRIP


THE LAST GRIZZLY --- follow a unique yellow faced grizzly as his dangerous misadventures lead him southward from his home in Yellowstone. Confrontations with man and other beasts are the order of the day as he makes his way to the beautiful San Juan Mountains --- the last wild grizzly in Colorado.

THE VIGILANTE VIRUS --- Dr. Marcus Peterson has had enough. Enough of wife-beaters, child molesters, sex offenders and killers being caught, only to be set free to offend again and again. He invents a biological deterrent and a program to surreptitiously administer it to bullies of a Washington, D. C. suburban area. He has no idea of the maelstrom he is about to loose on himself and his family, the nation’s capitol and the world at large. (Summer 1998)

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Tony Hillerman with a sci-fi twist!, January 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anasazi Harvest (Paperback)
This book is a great mix of mystery and sci-fi, and has a way of pulling you into the story line early on. It's set in the Southwest, and weaves Native American customs and stories into the plot; this gives the tale an added layer of mystery that I really enjoyed.

Mr. Waldrip has a style similar to Tony Hillerman, but his descriptions, characters, and plot are all his own. His ideas about how our society would handle such a situation are fascinating. I enjoy books that keep me thinking about their message after I'm done reading them; Mr. Waldrip managed to hold my attention throughout the book, and beyond. I look forward to reading more of his works!

4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise and a very interesting read, October 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Anasazi Harvest (Paperback)
Was I surprised when I got into this book. I don't normally read the kind of book I thought this was; a friend gave me a copy, so I did. And I'm so glad I did! It was a really interesting, well-written story. It engaged my attention immediately and kept it throughout. And it left me wondering: Yes, it's fiction; but maybe this--or something like it--has actually happened. It COULD have happened. And maybe it WILL happen! A really good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Response to "adult reader" review, October 3, 2007
By 
This review is from: Anasazi Harvest (Paperback)
As the author of Anasazi Harvest, I would like to set the record straight. It seems that one reviewer was "very disappointed" with Anasazi Harvest, claiming that as "an adult," he/she found the book lacking in honest portrayal by claiming the Navajo were descendants of the Anasazi.

The majority of adults I know have the ability to read English text and comprehend it. Of course, if one is speed reading beyond their comprehension level or is interrupted at the wrong time, it's easy to fail to capture plain meaning from written text. In this case, the author made no such false claims and a more careful reading will show that. For example, on page 92 we find the alien Weltii corporal explaining both the Navajo and the Weltii heritage in this statement:

"... I am descended from the Anasazi, much the same as you have Navajo ancestors from the same period."

A true reading of the novel shows that over time the Weltii people came to admire the Navajo and eventually included them as well as true descendants of the Anasazi in their genetic harvest.
