Synopsis

A standalone novella in which the last remaining indigenous people of North America occupy the last unpolluted land on a devastated continent — land now coveted by corporations and governments who have destroyed everything else.

A journalist, an anthropologist, and a medicine man navigate the intersection of ecological catastrophe and colonial dispossession in a near-future where the consequences of decades of environmental neglect have become impossible to ignore.

The Devil Delivered is Erikson writing political science fiction with the urgency of someone who believes the window for change is closing — a lean, angry book that uses genre conventions to say things literary fiction would dress in more comfortable language.
