Publisher's Synopsis
In that old New York city at the very start of this, the New World. Post Revolutionary War. Pre-industrial transport links to the interior. These frontiersmen will be tested to run on or to ruin the science. But what science is not exactly all too clear. The ice-runner throws down the challenge.And the expanded adventures begin up and down the river. All manner of new materials and each and every new waking moment - in search, in need of the best new tools for the most specific and technical of tasks.And what of Jim? Nowhere to be seen. Not yet. Not for this year.
