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 Emmetts 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. Theyre used to having their deeds covered up by the government in order to protect powerful men, and frankly, theyre sick of it. And when their return to New York doesnt go the way theyd planned, they decide that maybe its 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. Itll 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.
