The Seventh Mesa

Four individuals are mysteriously drawn together. Despite working as an anthropologist, Dr. Michael Greystone has all but ignored his Native heritage. A reoccurring dream, a dead colleague, and a new position bring him to the University of Colorado. His new boss, Dr. Theodore Weatherbee has been sent a strange papyrus written in what seems to be Egyptian hieroglyphs, American Indian petroglyphs, and symbols of unknown origin. Some of the symbols are reminiscent of those in Dr. Greystone's dreams. Karen Kendall is readying for her first year at college. She has plans of getting out from under her family but her parents have other plans for her. They've arranged for her to live with her uncle, Dr. Theodore Weatherbee, while attending the University of Colorado. Karen's first friend at university is Emmy (actually M.E. for Mourning Elk). Emmy has always known that her life was meant for something special. Once every few generations, an individual in her Native community is born with blue eyes. The last one, before Emmy, went insane. The Seventh Mesa is an engaging story that kept me rooted to my seat.

Real truths hidden within this book....you decide

I have read a number of Mary Summer Rain books. I found this one to be amoung one the top 3 that I have enjoyed of the many books in my collection. I was drawn to come back and read more after I set it down. I love the introduction of characters in the beginning. It gives the reader background and brings them into the story. I kept asking myself through out the book, "are these some actual truths being shared in a fictional setting". Read for youself and you decide. This book brings characters from unrelated settings together in a quest to return a valuable papyrus, that was taken from a hidden chamber under the seventh mesa in the desert. There is mystery and histroy found. Blending a number of cultures and even star people (aliens) all existed together with great knowledge. This underground chamber is waiting for man kind change and mature to reveal its mysteries back to man kind. I like the way Mary Summer Rain portrays Native American people in a correct light.
