Taco Del & the Fabled Tree of Destiny

A Merlin’s Tale

Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff

The Kingdom of Embarcadero is under siege. King Elvis wants to steal its secrets, mysterious outsiders want to expel its citizens, an ancient and sinister Force threatens to devour their souls. Salvation rests on the slender shoulders of a young wizard named Taco Del and his unlikely allies — a red-haired Chinese girl, a ghosty tribe of Mission Indians and a small fir tree named Doug.

Reviews:

“The book charmed me. I fell in love with Taco and Firescape — and Doug. Bohnhoff’s prose is inventive, yet transparent: a dialect comprehensible to contemporary readers but also perfectly evolved for its near-future setting. It can also be very, very funny. When I had to put the story down, I looked forward to picking it up again. After I finished it, I kept expecting to be able to go back to it, because the characters’ lives extended beyond ‘The End.’ I hope I get to read those adventures, too.” — Vonda N. McIntyre

“I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the hell out of your story. (Read it on my Kindle while waiting for my two-hours-delayed flight.) Especially since I’m staying near the Embarcadero and recognize some of the landmarks.” — Nan

a Rhys Llewellyn story

Negotiations might go much more smoothly if we could only see things from the other party's point of view. This can be difficult -- especially if other party is alien.

This is the second in a series of stories about Rhys Llewellyn xenoanthropologist/archaeologist and was serialized in Analog magazine.  Cover by the inestimable Nicholas Jainschigg.
