内容简介

Facilitator Joseph has outlasted entire civilizations during his twenty-thousand years of service to Dr. Zeus, the twenty-fourth century Company that created immortal operatives like him to preserve history and culture. The year is 1699 and Joseph is now in Alta California, to imitate an ancient Native-American Coyote god, and save the native Chumash from the white Europeans.He has the help of the Botanist Mendoza, who hasn't gotten over the death of her lover Nicholas, in Elizabethan England.

Lately though, Joseph has started to have a few doubts about The Company. There are whispers about the year 2355, about operatives that suddenly go missing. Time is running out for Joseph, which is ironic considering he's immortal, but no one ever said that it was easy being a god.

作者简介 Kage Baker lives in Pismo Beach, California.

媒体推荐 "Baker's second installment in her Company series proves a witty match to In the Garden of Iden . . . [and a] deliciously wicked platform for satirizing past, present and all-too-likely future human frailties. . . . Baker nails her 20th-century targets: societal, religious and oh-so-personal hypocrisy."-Publishers Weekly onSky Coyote
