Book Review: The Anasazi Mysteries
http://archaeology.about.com/od/fictionstoriesandnovels/fr/tk_gears.htm?
nl=1
The Anasazi Mystery series, written by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W.
Michael Gear, are fascinating, well-paced page-turners, that convey a
very real sense of what it's like to do archaeology in the 21st century,
and a very plausible picture of what it was like to live and die in the
San Juan Basin during the disastrous 13th century. A contributed review
from Thomas F. King.

It's a bad design, the human body. Skin's not thick enough, bones aren't
strong enough, too little hair, no claws, no fangs. Drop us and we
break! ... We should be on all fours, hairier, more resistant to heat
and cold, with tails. What happened to my tail, that's what I'd like to
know. It's humiliating to have a body with a design fault. - Allie Fox
(Paul Theroux)
