Svaha means "the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder—a waiting for promises to be fulfilled." In 2094, protective technology shields Native Enclaves from an outer world devastated by pollution and corruption. Beyond those Enclaves, in the ruins between cities, a Native flyer has been downed and a chip encoded with vital secrets is missing. It’s up to Gahzee to leave the Enclave and dare the deadlands to find it—walking the line between Dreamtime and Realtime, bringing his people's ancient magic and new science to bear on the poisoned world of tomorrow. Bringing hope, perhaps, for a new dawn… Reviews: From Locus Magazine, 1988: When Charles de Lint, master of urban fantasy, decides to write a cyberpunk novel, it's going to be a strange one. This is a pastoral mystical novel, like most of de Lint's. As with the others, what keeps it from being absurd is a deft hand with characterization and a love for the mystic religions. De Lint knows that mysticism is not a way to hide from the world, but a way to deal with it differently. His characters do know when action is necessary and take action at those times. De Lint's readers who normally read only fantasy should try this book: it's very well handled, and might get them started on reading more SF. And those who normally read only SF may find that it tempts them to read more fantasy. From The Fulcrum, University of Ottawa, 1989: De Lint has done what he is best at here produced a story about people and how they deal with their environment, and the places that history has built, or dug, for them. The major characters in this book are likeable people, not the saints that some authors paint their heroes as… If you are interested in near-future SF, this is a must read. If you are just looking for an interesting and gripping read, then you will enjoy Svaha as well. From Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact: Charles de Lint is renowned for his fantasies in which moderns confront faery, the realm of myth, legend, and history, or in which head confronts heart and the truer, nobler paths of existence. Now he gives us the same confrontations in science fiction instead of fantasy and proves that his skills are independent of the difference. Svaha has love, mysticism, honor, martial arts, murder, more mysticism, blood, more love, superhero deeds, and high hopes. It's got it all, something for everyone, and it's very satisfying.

Rinker This story is about a bleak dystopian future where most of the world's an uninhabitable wasteland peppered with cement burning acid rains and pretty much overpopulated of almost all humans and animals. The few human survivor are called rats and scrounge a living in the squats on they refuse from the big Megaplexes that are modern city-states with their own law and various ethnic gangs, mostly composed of the various Asian cultures with Nipponjin being at the top of the heap in wealth, culture and vicious gangster subculture. The Native American, Cannadian tribes, Maori and Southwest tribes managed to develop a high level of technology and isolate themselves into unbreachable Enclaves just before world pollution went into an irreversible tailspin. So now there are the Megaplexes, the Enclaves and their hidden technology and the streets and d ecomposing cities in the acid rains, where the rats try to survive as best they can. Suddenly everyone's scrambling after a downed Enclave flyer that presumably has all the hi-tech secrets in it's components that any enterprising engineer would love to get his or her hands on, and every gang, gangster and bad guy are hiring the best assassins money can buy to get this chip and get someone to decode it. This is the background where a native spirit walker Gahzee, is sent on a quest out of the Enclave to find the downed flyer and retrieve or destroy the data chip before some not of the People gets their hands on it. He goes with the understanding that he will never be able to return to his or any other Enclave for fear of contagion. So it's just lucky for him that a secondary plot line introduces him to Lisa who eventually becomes his friend, then they fight a war together, then they fall in love, perhaps not in that order.An enjoyable story with many interesting characters, with spiritualism and mystery, with good guys, bad guys and shades of grey guys.

Gahzee, a North American Indian, must return to the wasted lands to retrieve valuable tech stolen from the Enclaves--safe protected land once again under native control. Gahzee must find the computer chip even though he will never be allowed to return to the Enclaves. Can he learn to make his own tribe in the wasted lands?

It is set in a post apocalyptic world where the world is run by corporations. Citizens pay funds to live in cities while the poor gather at the outside edges trying to stay alive. The characters are complex and fascinating, with Ojibwe and Japanese language and cultural values classing with the protagonists. Highly recommended for a great read!
