This is a post-apocalyptic survivalist action adventure, set in the high Canadian Rockies, about a semi-nomadic group of about forty free-traders who must move south for the winter with a storm at their backs, about 20 years after the "Great Fall" which reduced 21st Century civilization to a remnant. They encounter another family group under the command of an authoritarian patriarch, who have built a blockhouse to control the only pass, and who survive by exacting as much toll as possible. Though neither are "bad guys," their different ways force them to compete, and neither family can afford to waste warriors on a massacre. They have to find a better way.

Here's a bonus: footnote links in the E-book tell a second imbedded back story about one of the characters, and about the amazing airplanes which are featured in the story. In addition, the paperback version also includes the complete action chase novella "Buttercup's Run".
