A comedy in which a god visits a 17th century Indian village in California to get the inhabitants to relocate to another world, thereby saving them from destruction by the Spanish. The god, Sky Coyote, is in fact a surgically altered impostor, an agent of time-travelling, do-gooders from the 24th century who are dedicated to preserving the world's civilizations. By the author of In the Garden of Iden.
