When Wisconsin Territory botanist Calvin Scholz receives a
mysterious package from an old friend who recently came to an
untimely demise, it sparks a wild adventure. The mid-1840s is a
dangerous time, for the Americans are at war with Mexico. Scholz
survives attempts on his life as he attempts to deliver the package
to his friend's brother, a Savannah ichthyologist interested in
fish-powered machinery--ichthyotech. The situation grows
increasingly dire, and Scholz finds himself aboard a riverboat in
the Amazon Basin wilderness. While this novel contains a
fast-moving, original story, it is also a tasteful parody of the
Steampunk movement. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, as
well as a few compulsory bad puns.
