The Navajo boy is critically ill when he is brought to the Indian hospital in Gallup, New Mexico. He harbors a deadly disease that is stalking the reservation and it soon spreads from Navajoland to the highest reaches of power in Washington, DC. Modern medicine alone can't control this strange epidemic and John Hartman, a young physician in the Indian Health Service, must overcome the resistance of his colleagues when he turns to the ancient wisdom of the Navajo medicine men. At the same time, he must overcome his own tragic past. * * * * Leonard A.

His four previous novels, "Fish Heads," "Legacy," "Blackfeet Eyes," and "Morgen's War," were all published by Sunstone Press. * * * "Booklist" reports: "During volunteer medical work in Africa, Asia, and South America, (Dr.) Schonberg learned to understand and respect a culture not his own, and that respect is a major distinction of this excellent novel that also portrays the New Mexico landscape and relations between Navajos and Anglos beautifully."
