Industry reviews "At the beginning of the trilogy, New Mexico was still a relatively unspoiled land, the possession of Indians and Mexicans who lived off the land. It was ripe for spoiling and the story of that spoiling is a major concern of the trilogy." Washington Post - John McLellan

"Speculators, developers, politicians--the usual crowd of cashers-in--have weaned the locals away from a land-based economy to the almighty greenback and introduced them to the marvels of installment plans, menial labor and debt. By the time the older Pueblo get around to actively protesting, they've lost their children, their culture, [and] their farms to the maw of red-blooded white-skinned capitalism." - Jeffrey Burke, Harper's
