Contact: The Battle For America is a three-book historical fiction series published between 2010 and 2012. W. Michael Gear turns his anthropological expertise to the sixteenth-century Spanish exploration of the American Southeast, dramatizing the collision between European invaders and the sophisticated indigenous civilizations they encountered.
Coming of the Storm, Fire the Sky, and A Searing Wind follow the consequences of first contact from multiple perspectives. Gear brings the same research-driven approach he uses in the First North Americans series to a historical period where the documentary evidence is richer, allowing him to ground the fiction in recorded events while imagining the experiences of the people on both sides.
