What happened to America? The indigenous population of North America (now Vinlandia) has retained its own sovereignty avoiding European conquest. No one speaks English or as even heard of the United States of America. Tom Hathaway from 1976 Virginia finds himself stranded in Kameechee, a large nation on the coast. To survive, he must adapt to the ways of the Vinlandians and become one of them. During the next seven years, he becomes a military hero, marries the Commander’s beautiful daughter, and re-invents the airplane for the alternate history. Will the military versions of his flying machine make the difference in halting a naval attack by the evil cutthroats who bloody the waters off the eastern coast of Vinlandia? If he chooses to return home to his former history, he may never find out. If he chooses to stay, his family back home may never know what happened to him when he disappeared without a trace seven years before.
