The tribe's leader, Etok, who brought the Oshons to the Americas, appears in the story over the arc of centuries, in succeeding generations for 15,000 years that represent a transition from Asian to American Indian. The Oshons are patterned after the Clovis Indians, about whom little is known other than their unique method of creating knives and spears.When aliens from another world establish three great, civilized city states on Earth, they begin to include earthlings. After a brief flurry of wars with the more hostile inhabitants of Earth, an idealist era reigns, during which peace and plenty exist almost everywhere on earth for two thousand years. As the aliens intermarry with the Earth inhabitants, the peaceful nature and compassion of the original aliens is diluted and the great powers are soon at war. The outcome of this war is never determined, because in the midst of the war earth is struck by a natural disaster of global proportions. All of the civilized states and most of the people of earth are destroyed. The few survivors who lived in the center of continents and high in the mountains are left to struggle to survive and repopulate the planet.Compressing 15,000 years of history into less than 50,000 words, Child of Orion seeks to uncover the enigmas of this planet by relating the author's account of the true history of the world, as established by Kaut's forty years of study and discovery.
