David Lorca escapes the barrio in San Antonio, Texas and achieves much success in the software and pharmaceutical business. In spite of his success and accompanying wealth he is still haunted by the racism he experienced as a youth. Knowing that traditional approaches to solving racism have had little or no success he turns to science for answers. David Lorca seeks out a Gypsy geneticist that has been under the control of Neo Nazis for most of his life for help. After many years of clandestine research the Captain, the Gypsy geneticists name, discovers the racist gene in humans DNA. The euphoria of having discovered the racist gene is short lived. David commands the Captain to find a way of eliminating the gene from peoples DNA. A trusted member of Davids team betrays him and decides to sell the discovery to an arms dealer who represents the worlds power brokers. The self anointed world power brokers come to the conclusion that they must stop David and the Captain from eliminating racism at any cost.

The Milagro Beanfield War is the first book in John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy (“Gentle, funny, transcendent.” —The New York Times Book Review), later adapted to film by Robert Redford. Joe Mondragon, a feisty hustler with a talent for trouble, slammed his battered pickup to a stop, tugged on his gumboots, and marched into the arid patch of ground. Carefully (and also illegally), he tapped into the main irrigation channel. And so began-though few knew it at the time-the Milagro beanfield war. But like everything else in the dirt-poor town of Milagro, it would be a patchwork war, fought more by tactical retreats than by battlefield victories. Gradually, the small farmers and sheepmen begin to rally to Joe's beanfield as the symbol of their lost rights and their lost lands. And downstate in the capital, the Anglo water barons and power brokers huddle in urgent conference, intent on destroying that symbol before it destroys their multimillion-dollar land-development schemes. The tale of Milagro's rising is wildly comic and lovingly tender, a vivid portrayal of a town that, half-stumbling and partly prodded, gropes its way toward its own stubborn salvation.
