Summary

1897.

August Simms—explorer, soldier, world traveler—returns to Rhome, Texas to chase one last adventure.

Hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported, seven years before the Wright brothers' initial flight, and August intends to solve the airship mystery.

Instead, the past comes calling. A murder, a lynching, and the death of his wife 15 years earlier are inextricably tied to the present, and the adventure August finds will not be the one he expects.

Critic reviews

"Kaufman is a fantastic writer with a distinctive poetic touch... It will be the rare reader who will not be moved by this soulful, poignant novel." (Kirkus Reviews)

"It's a powerfully rendered novel that holds the rare ability to traverse genres to attract a wider audience of reader than the 'historical fiction' label portends." (Midwest Book Review)
