Introduction

Discovering a ten-thousand-year-old sea ship buried on his North Dakota farm, Tom Lasker uncovers a portal to another world and captures the attention of many others, including the Sioux nation, which believes that the portal leads to Eden.

Editorial Review

Something very strange has turned up in Tom Lasker's wheat field: a ten-thousand-year-old sailboat made of an unknown substance. And then there's the Roundhouse, apparently a doorway to another world, sitting squarely on Sioux reservation land. How did they get there, and what do they signify for the people embroiled in their discovery? This is sci-fi on a grand scale by the author of The Engines of God.

Thought provoking. Not only explores the concept of alternate worlds but the politics of having a portal here on earth. Delves into issues that would not have occurred to me.
