"'Shadow of the Serpent: A Coyote Moon Story' is one of the best Native American books I've read. Those of you who know me- understand that that is quite a statement as I've read well over 200 of them, and published my own native american haiku. I'm not an expert in the field- but pretty close."

"The book is set in prehistoric North America and Joseph weaves quite an extravagant story of ancient civilizations, nomads, and the ever-present struggle for control of land and domination over others."

"This work could be called action/adventure as it contains plenty of both, but it also mixes fact & fantasy which leads us on a spiritual journey as we view what we have made of this world. The parables contained within the text are insightful, and deeply provocative. James has encased these moral gems into a very well crafted narrative which is exciting, enticing, and eloquent. He brings us a closer look at ancient rites and rituals and helps us to see the need for such in our present world."

"This book gets my highest recommendation!!"

Leslie Blanchard--A Writer's Choice Literary Journal



"James Joseph's 'Shadow Of The Serpent' is an action-packed adventure novel that blends fact and fantasy into an engaging spiritual journey that examines such questions as whether the gains of modern civilization are substantive or illusory, and have we lost our true sense of meaning in the evolving transition from ancient wisdom to contemporary assumptions underlying our technologically driven, mass produced culture." Highly recommended.

Internet Bookwatch--Midwest Book Review



"'Shadow Of The Serpent: A Coyote Moon Story' may be the best Native American novel of the year. James Joseph scribes an incredible metaphysical tale that is boundless in time even as it provides an endearing message that forces of good can overcome any barrier if people will only let it be."

Harriet Klausner--Painted Rock Writers and Readers Colony



"Ancient Native American lore, spirituality and philosophy are brought to vivid life in James Joseph's first novel, 'Shadow of the Serpent'. Using a compelling blend of fact, fiction and fantasy, Joseph spins an adventure yarn full of action, mystery and intriguing parables."

by William D. Bushnell--Brunswick Times-Record



"In the introduction to his fast-moving, suspense-filled, premier work, Joseph asks some provocative questions. 'Why, if civilization is so desirable, was it always resisted rather than embraced?' he asks, alluding to the 500 or so Indian nations scattered throughout North America."
"'Shadow of the Serpent' is in many ways a fantasy that young readers from 15 to 20 should find entertaining and supenseful, and older readers will find multilayered."

Jack Barnes--Maine Sunday Telegram



"'Shadow of the Serpent' is more than a look at yesteryear's Native American lore. It's a novel of Native American culture that speaks to the moral and ethical dilemmas we face as we move into the next millennium. James Joseph has captured the American Indian at his, and her, finest. Easily the most thoughtful and action packed Native American book on the market."

-- Steve Harrison, Publisher/Editor, The Jonboat Journal
