The thrilling conclusion to Christopher Healy's funny,
action-packed, acclaimed alt-history adventure!
It is 1884, and Molly and Cassandra Pepper, Emmett Lee, and
Emmett’s long-lost father are sailing back to New York following their death-defying
adventure in Antarctica. Having discovered a subterranean world at the South
Pole while saving the world from certain doom once again, surely their
accomplishments will finally earn them the recognition they deserve.
Unless, of course . . . well, you know by now.
And so do the Peppers and Lees. They’re used to having their
deeds covered up by the government in order to protect powerful men, and
frankly, they’re sick of it. And when their return to New York doesn’t go the
way they’d planned, they decide that maybe it’s best to go into hiding and
accept that, perhaps, the forces aligned against them are just too great.
As the 1884 presidential election approaches, however, our
heroes discover a plot against leading candidate Thomas Edison that only they
can stop. It’ll be up to them to decide whether to come out of hiding, make the
perilous journey to Washington, DC, and do the right thing one last time. Even
if it means risking everything they have left.
