This was the third in a trilogy and I loved the entire story (Anasazi Mystery). Of course there are all kinds of theories as to what happened to the Anasazi and probably most are correct. This speculative story includes many of them. I love the side by side stories, one among the Anasazi trying to survive and the other set in the present with the archeologists gradually figuring out part of the answer and then the climax tying both together. Well worth the time spent reading it. I am kicking myself for never visiting Chaco Canyon while I could still walk. And I was close... Just didn't know enough to stop.
I have now started The Last Odyssey by James Rollins (a part of his Sigma Force series.) Recent archeological finds have discovered the city of Troy (Homer's The Illiad) and have plotted the probably location of ancient Ithaca (the two cities figure as starting and ending points in Homer's Odyssey). Prior to this scholars have thought of the two books as purely fiction, but, if the cities were real, could more of the stories be real? That "what if.." leads Rollins (and now me) into another great adventure.
