Aether Sailing J R Delcamp

Here is Book 1 of Aether Sailing, an alternative history of America with a steampunk twist, a history rife with wild adventures, ingenious inventions, strange technologies, and astonishing discoveries. A company of refugees escaping the Great Chicago Fire, through a series of desperate efforts, traverse the Aether to a parallel universe and a New World. There, native tribes fight for survival against a brutal Colony intent on conquest and extermination; recalling the expansion of the Unites States into the West, like a manifest destiny complicated by unexpected twists and turns. Dorothy riding a tornado to Oz, Odysseus sailing the Wine Dark Sea never had so much trouble.
