Vortex: A Science Fiction Tale of Sedona

The Anasazi farmed in Northern Arizona, until in ancient times they disappeared without leaving a trace as to where they had gone. Being farmers and the gayety of their art led to them being thought of as a people living a Rainbow Festival-esc life in harmony with earth and man. Modern archaeology has now proven that this assessment was wrong. All is not normal in Sedona Arizona, Land of the Woo Woo People, as Allen referred to it, unless of course you happen to be from a time somewhere in the ancient past. Transported through time by an old medicine man's prayers, Allen, a wildlife photographer "who had done his forty days and forty nights in the wilderness, and gone back for another twenty years," and the strikingly beautiful, conflicted young woman Sam, who is a bonded courier for the CDC, have been transported back in time to help defeat an ancient evil. Will they find peace and belonging in this simpler world, or is it tragedy that waits for them? "I drank tobacco juice and prayed, and I saw this: I saw a man and a woman from whose hands lightning came, and this was a fearsome thing. At first I thought that they must be spirits, but then a voice told me that they were not. It was not the lightning though, which I perceived would help with our problem, but another much more powerful medicine. I could not understand its formula, but I could feel its strength." "But these people are somewhere else; through a door I cannot enter. What I request of you, upon the prayers and obedience of my ancestors, is that you would create for these strange people, a passage to our land."
