Late one evening in downtown Seattle, Mel Gray Eagle meets Jenny Mayor, a disarming and enthusiastic member of a bizarre new-millennium cult. Jenny introduces him to a handful of her colorful friends and he soon discovers shocking secrets about each one of them. Mel becomes involved in their wildly adventurous and fantastic plot that places him at the pivotal center of an extraterrestrial war that began before recorded history and promises the eventual enslavement of humanity, unless they can modify the future. Earth's destiny is redefined through futuristic science, twists in time, spiritual revelation, earth-changes, magical wonders, nightmarish horror, terrifying events in late 1800's Seattle, a magnificent machine that spans time and hyperspace, and the wisdom of an ancient Nez Perce hero.
Descending Circles is a superb portrayal of human nature at its best and worst in times of fateful contemplation. The dynamic between the characters is completely natural, allowing the reader to identify with them and feel as if he/she has stepped into the pages of this illustrious novel.

November 22, 2003: This is a fascinating book which combines American Indian mythology and science fiction. It is very reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda and early Piers Anthony. It's full of complex plot twists and lots of detail, including deep descriptive sub stories. Especially interesting for me were the alien histories. The writing is well done, with some interesting topical references which makes the reading even more exciting.
