About This Book

An ingenious young inventor constructs a steam-powered horse and an armored, self-contained wagon to cross the western desert. He departs with two devoted servants, and the narrative details the machine's mechanics and outfitting as preparation for the trip. The expedition becomes entangled in a marked-bullet homicide that leads to the arrest of a man named Benjamin Astley, prompting investigation and pursuit. The work blends technical description, episodic frontier travel, and action as the party confronts natural hazards, outlaws, and investigatory challenges.
