"The Epic Story...of the people who struggled to survive and rise from ancient roots to reach for the stars... The second and final part of "The Florida Saga." Two hundred years of Florida's amazing history comes alive as you follow the soldiers, cow hunters, spongers, slaves, farmers, and railroad gandydancers who shaped it. US Army Lt. August Booker broke all the rules when he fell in love with a Seminole woman. Her children would preserve the dying embers of a vanishing culture. Northerner Anthony Crews worked his way through a hostile land to find his fortune, yet his daughter Amanda would face barriers that threatened to block her dreams. Freed slave Sam Lewis led his family to the promised land of the Everglades, only to see his world catapaulted into chaos in a day. Triumph and tragedy confront the rugged individuals who dream of a better life. Despite years of warfare, violence, and disease, their descendants would rise to fulfill an ancient prophesy. Carefully researched and historically accurate, And Still They Came is populated by the real people who shaped the modern state, and the imagined lives of those who made it all possible."--Publisher marketing.

When a mysterious creature begins to butcher their cattle with laser-like precision, father and son Tom and Jason Cloud are forced to defend their isolated northern Arizona ranch, their friends, and their way of life. The looming cliffs above their Four Corners ranch are apparently harboring more than big-horn sheep and cougars. Jason's university professor, renowned forensic archaeologist Anna Thompson, is stumped by the evidence, but the mysterious sphere that pays a midnight visit leaves Jason convinced that they are dealing with something more than a new species of animal. The modern west will never be the same.
