The action expands to the New World, where the Americans struggle against the same evil forces as the rest of the world, in this strange combination of sorcery and science. This is almost alternate history, but much more fantasy than alternate history. Its neat to see historical characters in quite different circumstances, and its fascinating to see where the story is going. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

When Sir Isaac Newton uncovered the secrets of alchemy, he could never have imagined the incredible and tragic results. Dark sorcery rules: Europe is lost and the American colonists have been driven south by advancing ice. In an age of unreason, Benjamin Franklin and his secret society, the Junto, manage a precarious existence founded on the mutual trust and cooperation of Native Americans, whites, and freed blacks. But the demonic creatures known as the Malekim won't tolerate even a flicker of hope. For any who oppose them--Franklin, Voltaire, even the mysterious daughters of Lilith--will be swept away . . . Though Tsar Peter the Great of Russia has mysteriously vanished, his vast armies and dark magics remain. They strike where they are least expected, unleashing cyclopean forces unseen on Earth since before the fall of mighty Babylon. And even this is but a prelude to he who follows the living storm. As armies and alchemy clash in the southern colonies, the Choctaw shaman Red Shoes is drawn west by a vision of an ancient, implacable evil, and of a young boy who shines as brightly as an angel . . . the fallen, avaricious kind.

Characters: Moved to older Ben. This lost a lot for me. Didn't really like the other "matured" characters. Red Shoes was the most likable.
Plot: I liked the idea of "Fortress America" but it got bogged down in minutia.
Style: Tried to be grown up. Should have gone back to mystical. ( )
