..But then as he peered out through the branches, the sky tore
open--abruptly, distorting, and bubbling out, a darkness looking at
first like a black globbed mass, like dark spittle on a French
trapper's beard, but then widening, widening, widening...until Wore
Wolf Teeth inched back with dread. This deadly vision came from the
spirits, not from a bodied foe...The dark, translucent bubble
continued enlarging...Then the sky tunnel of smoked blackness
swallowed the whole sky and out of the cavernous maw charged,
stormed, a moving drab-gray monster. He gripped his medicine bag
hanging from his neck, crawled out of the brush, stood and said, "I
am of the Chaticks-si-chaticks (Men of men) Above, the dark gray
spirit hovered pulsating, and behind it the sky endless tar. Three
miles away, horses of an Oregon-bound wagon train skittered and
bucked, one large roan knocking its rider to the ground. The men
looked up in shock, bewildered by the sudden darkness. Thus begins
The Feeling of the Earth, a new speculative novel concerning an
alien research mission to the minor planet Earth which will last at
least until 2073, from the conflicts of the Oregon Trail to the
mysteries of astrobiology.
