The Mexican Flyboy (Volume 16) (Chicana And Chicano Visions Of The Am?ricas Series)

Simon Vegas, the Mexican Flyboy, " toils for years to repair a time machine that fell into his hands in Vietnam. With the help of his friend, eccentric Hephaestus Segundo, Simon uses the device to fly through time. Wherever acts of human cruelty take place, in the past or in the present, the machine lets him lift the suffering away and deliver them to a utopian afterlife - or so he thinks. Is Simon truly a "magus, " transporting martyrs to a shared community in paradise? Or is he just a man broken by loss, guilt, and the trauma of war, hopelessly lost in an illusion of his own making?"--
