Summary:

The Tower Maker - an adventure novel In 1929, a West Texas cattle
rancher had a staggering religious vision in which he and his male
progeny were commanded by God to build a tower. The purpose of the
tower was not revealed. Its construction was to be a matter of faith.
Seventy-two years later, Sam Sudro continues to honor his
grandfather’s commitment as did his deeply religious father, but
his faith in it has been gradually eroding, especially after his wife
and two sons moved away out of frustration with its suffocating
influence on their lives. Now he lives alone on his ranch. The cattle
were sold longa ago. Only a minor oil well sustains Sam and his
endless work on the tower. Far away in a former Soviet republic lives
a small ethnic community called the Scyths, supposed descendents of
the ancient Scythians. Having been forcibly relocated by Josef Stalin
from their original home in the Caucasus to the barren steppes of
Central Asia, they subsist on the verge of extinction because of a
series of ecological disasters left behind by the long-departed
Soviet bureaucrats. Sam is completely unaware that his fate and that
of the Scyths are about to be entangled by the unpredictable winds of
war.
