Description
When Chris Walden stumbles into Boulder, Colorado, in a parallel universe, he's just looking to shoot some video, cash in, and bail. But what he finds captivates a place where folks raise houses together, kids know how to weld, and courtship begins at the Summer Ball. This America never shipped its working hands overseas, never traded its main streets for strip malls. It runs on vacuum-maglev trains and liquid-metal reactors--but it also passes down customizable radios, leaves muddy footprints on the porch, and its dishwashers argue back. Out on the Great Plains, bison and cheetahs run wild again. As Chris is drawn into the orbit of an unconventional four-way relationship, his bonds to the place deepen, and he begins to see what his America traded away--and what this one still might lose. In the world he left behind, his entrepreneurial friend sees only an untapped market to exploit. Chris came as a tourist. Now, he's the only thing standing between two worlds. --
