Making use of elderberries. How Indians used acorns as food. Growing black walnut trees from seed. There are no pictures in this book. Andrew Dequasie's day job has been chemical engineering. His previously published works include: Well, the aliens in this case know a great deal about planet Earth and its human population, but their info is disastrously out of date. It's a war in which tactics make all the difference and the aliens would have found peaceful cooperation a far more useful thing than the battle. As a side issue, these highly intelligent aliens have evolved on a planet where oxygen and water are rare.

The author's thesis on this point is that life can evolve anywhere there is an energy source the life form can use. In each case, the life form evolves so as to use the available energy source and, therefore, is very dependant on it, just as we depend on oxygen and water.

He takes a job as resident physician in the Spruce Valley rest home for elderly people. As the residents begin to regain their youth, he pretends to be mystified and encourages the rumor that the spring supplying water to the facility might be a second Lourdes. Then he leads the owner of the rest home and the owner's wife into a plot to confirm the Lourdes hoax. As the good doctor puts it, it's necessary to give God the credit and the blame. The doctor has chosen his fellow conspirators well.

They have a grand time establishing the hoax, which sometimes succeeds all too well. As the fame of the Spruce Valley Miracle spreads and the facility is doubled, the first of Doctor Visionaire's predictions comes true; the Government wants a piece of the action in order to give certain VIPs preferred status. Government money doubles the facility again, bringing a host of new characters and overwhelming paperwork. The local Government agent, Jane Ormond, becomes the doctor's soul mate. Then the second of Doctor Visionaire's predictions comes true; the bad guy appears.

Some of the characters are those almost mythical 'real Vermonters' and some are folks who were born elsewhere but had the good fortune to relocate in Vermont. One is a wild turkey, one is a colonial ghost, one is from the very distant past, and one is from the future. The rest are folks you might meet at a town meeting or a restaurant. Doris dies of undulant fever just short of the beginning of the Oregon Trail at Westport, Missouri.

Josh joins them, thinking they will need his help to survive and prosper, but also finds that they are determined to practice non-violence in this violent land. By the time the preacher and his wife reach Fort Laramie, Josh has saved them from several outlaws and an Indian raid, but they have cast him out as an agent of the devil.

Josh wins the friendship of Lewis, a small, but very tough mountain man who serves as a scout for Fort Laramie. On a trip into Sioux country, Josh finds that Lewis has a Sioux wife and children that he loves more than he wants the Army to know. They join a Sioux buffalo hunt and Josh runs afoul of White Hawk, a Sioux warrior, due to the mischievous flirting of an Indian maiden. By the time he and Lewis return to Fort Laramie, Josh regards Lewis as a best friend and has learned some sympathy and respect for the Sioux.

Lewis predicts that it's only a matter of time before the Army controls all Indian lands, but is doing all he can to keep the peace and delay that day.

The author's skills aren't up to the level of either of those two classics, but if you are interested in either the boron fuels project, the general atmosphere of the "Waste Anything But Time" cold war projects, or hair-raising stories of chemists working with things best left in textbooks, you will likely find it enjoyable. If you don't already know, the entire very expensive project was based on a rather fundamental misunderstanding of boron combustion, so as a jet fuel, the particular technology is unlikely to recur.
