    About this ebook

    Traveling through time was just the beginning—now Simon and Brad have to survive a reimagined early America in the second book of the alternative history Fireball trilogy, from critically acclaimed Tripods author John Christopher.

    When Simon and Brad were caught in the mysterious fireball and transported to the strange alternate world on the other side, they knew their lives would never be the same again.

    They definitely couldn’t have imagined the dangers ahead, especially when they set sail for Brad’s homeland: the still undiscovered America.

    The Algonquian territory is hardly the paradise Brad had been promised—or remembered from history class. Winter is brutal, the locals are hostile, and Simon and Brad know they have to escape.

    But can they? The adventures in store—from Vikings to a completely unexpected civilization—put their will to survive to the ultimate test.

    • 4/5
      The sequel to Christopher's 1981 young-adult novel FIREBALL, NEW FOUND LAND is set in an alternate history where the Roman Empire never fell and Europe never colonized the Western Hemisphere. Simon and Brad, the quarrelsome cousins who accidentally entered this world in the previous book, here embark with their two Roman companions across the North American continent, headed for California. On the way they encounter hard-bargaining Algonquian hunters, a strangely-serene Viking colony on Nantucket, and the outlying cities of a greatly-enlarged Aztec Empire. The theme of an alternate America-without-Columbus has been developed more skillfully by other authors, notably Somtow Sucharitkul and Howard Waldrop, but Christopher's novel is a quick read, with (mostly) believable characters and a suitably intriguing denouement. Also of note is the author's treatment of the Aztecs as a sophisticated mercantile society, rather than the bloodthirsty barbarians of 19th and 20th-century American myth.
