| Description: |
A scrappy Brooklyn orphan turned vengeful assassin narrates a visionary tale of the American West. |
| Synopsis: |
The Boy in His Winter (May 2014) was Norman Lock's breakout novel, inducing Scott Simon to exclaim on NPR Weekend Edition that Lock made "Huck and Jim so real you expect to get messages from them on your iPhone." In its first two months, it has garnered accolades and reviews from outlets ranging from BuzzFeed to Reader's Digest to the Wall Street Journal and Atlanta Journal-Constitution.American Meteor-a fantastic adventure tale that moves as fast as the locomotives that opened up the Western frontier-is even more accessible than The Boy in His Winter.The main character is an active participant in some of the most compelling events in nineteenth-century American history including the Lincoln funeral procession, the meeting of the East and West railroads, and the Battle of Little Bighorn. Many recognizable figures also make cameos: President Lincoln, Walt Whitman, preeminent nineteenth-century frontier photographer William Henry Jackson, George Armstrong Custer, and Chief Crazy Horse.American Meteor will be published in the spring of 2015, which also marks the 150th anniversary of the final year of the Civil War. |
