“The Gears’ qualifications as archaeologists have given this series a strong foundation … the background is again superbly drawn. Browser’s resourcefulness makes him a truly engaging character, while the identity of the witch/murderer Dusty seeks remains well hidden to the end. The Gears’ extensive bibliography provides documentation for their use of witchcraft, cannibalism and the rise of conflicting religious beliefs.”

Publishers Weekly
 
“Readers will wish they could book one of those Anasazi cliffhouses for a night of between-worlds mysticism and wake up to one of Dusty’s breakfasts.”

Kirkus Reviews
 
 
Praise for
The Summoning God
Book II of the
Anasazi Mysteries:
 
“With the narrative going from the present to the thirteenth century,
The Summoning God
is an exciting read, rich in mystery and history. Readers will enjoy the interaction between Dusty and Maureen, but it is the vivid descriptions of the day-to-day lives of the Anasazis that capture the imagination.”

Romantic Times
 
“A blend of 800 year old Anasazi ruins and present-day world of archaeology makes for a tight psychological thriller in the Anasazi Mystery Series … one mystery and two stories are linked in this tale that readers will find hard to put down.”

The San Antonio Express News
 
“The Gears’ Anasazi Mysteries are among the best “backgrounder” stories I’ve read, meaning that the setting constitutes another character, affecting the plot and in a sense directing it. Both
The Visitant
(Book I of the Anasazi Mysteries) and
The Summoning God
are so steeped in southwestern archaeology and the lore of the Anasazi culture that one can smell the dust, see the brightly painted Katsinas on the side of cliff dwellings, hear the Wind Baby rustling the cottonwood leaves. A magnificent blend of suspense and western action.”
