The near destruction of indigenous peoples in North America by white settlers could have been avoided. There was one time that might have been altered - the late 17th century, a time when two colonies were near war with each other and the native peoples on their frontiers were a still formidable potential foe. ORENDA RISING tells of the confrontation between Native Americans and European colonists in the 17th century, but in this telling, with a plausibly different outcome: the rise of a new inland people, whose goal, originating in a powerful woodland dream, is to blend the best of both cultures. The ultimate harmony doesn't come easily. Led by a group of visionary native and colonial co-conspirators, each must battle not only the enemy without, but conflicts within, as they devise their bold plot within the possibilities of the time and set their sights on the two most vulnerable colonies: New York and New France. Researched and written over a period of thirty years, ORENDA RISING and its sequel novels, covering three centuries, break exciting new ground in alternate history fiction - the first fiction about North America's most fundamental "what if?" Could there have been a better historical relationship between indigenous peoples and the nonindigenous settlers, and with what other implications, including for black Americans? Stand by for the sequel novels of "A Prospect for Orenda" in 2017 and join the discussion at www.rdtaylorstory.com. North America, with a difference!
