Traveling through time was just the beginning--now Simon and Brad have
to survive a reimagined early America in the second book of the
alternative history Fireball trilogy, from critically acclaimed Tripods
author John Christopher.
When Simon and Brad were caught in the mysterious fireball and
transported to the strange alternate world on the other side, they knew
their lives would never be the same again.
They definitely couldn't have imagined the dangers ahead, especially
when they set sail for Brad's homeland: the still undiscovered America.
The Algonquian territory is hardly the paradise Brad had been
promised--or remembered from history class. Winter is brutal, the locals
are hostile, and Simon and Brad know they have to escape.
But can they? The adventures in store--from Vikings to a completely
unexpected civilization--put their will to survive to the ultimate test.
