Saknussemm, Kris -- Enigmatic Pilot
The prologue has a US Army lieutenant being chased by a stampede of
ghosts and buffalo across the Dakota badlands in 1869. Promising!
Unfortunately the book is about a vile supergenius child in Ohio in
1844. He travels across the country, invents the flying machine, gets
laid, and I think meets aliens and/or the Illuminati. It's hard to
tell. It's not pleasant reading. The flaws and squalidity of the
nation in that era are presented with loving detail, when they're not
being ironically multiplied; and if the plot connects up with the
prologue, the connection is in some sequel which I will not be
reading.
