About this ebook

Denver detective Win Bear, on the trail of a murderer, discovers much more than a killer. He accidentally stumbles upon the probability broach, a portal to a myriad of worlds--some wildly different from, others disconcertingly similar to our own. Win finds himself transported to an alternate Earth where Congress is in Colorado, everyone carries a gun, there are gorillas in the Senate, and public services are controlled by private businesses.

Ratings and reviews

It is a great read. A little politically heavy handed sometimes, but an excellent "what if" read.

After I read this book, it changed the way I think politically. At the beginning of the book I had one school of thought in my head, at the end I couldn't think any other way.
