1859. War is coming. in the mounting tention all eyes turn west, to the Kingdom of Deseret. The Madman Orson Pratt s perfection of air-ship technology already has every power scrambling to get Deseret s Brigham Young into the war as its ally, or sidelined permanently. The stakes only rise with the rumors that Pratt s newest invention is a working, deadly, phlogiston cannon. Sam Clemens of the United States Army rides into Deseret on his amphibious steam-truck, the Jim Smiley. Racing against him on the land-ferry Liahona comes Captain Richard Burton, explorer, linguist, soldier, and hard-headed man of science. Edgar Allan Poe, a master spy presumed dead for a decade, travels in disguise as an exhibitor f Egyptian antiquities, doing his dirty work for the clandestine confederate leadership with flesh-eating clocksprung scarab beetles and a hypnotic hypocephalus. The rivals fight each other tooth and nail and clash with the Kingdom s loyal but eccentric defender, the Deseret Marshal Orrin Porter Rockwell.
