Four divergent alternate histories form the core of this novel. One closely resembles our own and another where the southwestern Amerindian mound-builders still exist. The third is from a near future where man has ravaged the planet in a flurry of radiation, germ warfare and chemical pollution. The three come together to tell the tale of a military expedition travelling to the past to alter the future. Expecting Louisiana in the mid-1930s, they ended up in a world where Aztecs sacrifice humans to their gods on the banks of the Mississippi and Arabs explored America by steamboat. Christianity and the Roman Empire never existed. The complex threads come together, converging in a poignant story that transcends all timelines' differences.
