  The plan is for each story in the series to provide a glimpse of both typical and critical events amid an increasingly unstable world in which natural, technological and mythical forces are being unleashed due to climate change and other human induced problems. In the first story Ed Rumsfeld and his wife Mary were introduced, along with aspects of the global warming/climate change dilemma including the amazing jants, their creator Jerry (an itinerant gene-splicer) and the Government agents that pursue him. This second story has swollen from short story to novella to short-novel proportions due to bountiful Mohawk lore, science rationale, and adventurous plot.

  As always I thank my wife and daughters for putting up with all this writing nonsense, Bill Gates for his useful spell-checker that makes even physics-trained engineers passable spellers, and my favorite author James P. Blaylock for his inspiringly silly fabulist writings. I wish also to thank the makers of Paint, the freeware which supports my awkward creation of nifty little e-book covers. Finally, I extend special thanks to the native-languages dot-org website and other websites where I obtained valuable source information about the Mohawk people which provides much of the setting for this story. Much Mohawk information that I provide in this story (including the existence of Mohawk County and Giants' Rest Mountain) is of course fictional, but I have with the best of intentions and to the best of my ability used actual fascinating bits and pieces of Mohawk language, culture, and myths in this novella whenever possible.

  Happy reading!
