by William K. Hartmann
LTF Stock #: 000492
In Cities of Gold, planetary scientist William K. Hartmann blends fiction and history in a sweeping narrative that links the legendary quest of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado with the author’s own modern retracing of the journey. Alternating between the 16th-century expedition and contemporary reflection, the novel explores discovery, ambition, and the enduring myths of the American Southwest. Combining vivid descriptions of desert landscapes with deep cultural insight, Hartmann creates a story where archaeology, anthropology, and imagination meet. (HarperCollins, 1992; 480 pp.)
