Sinopsis

>At Huskerville High School, it's not a good idea to eat the cafeteria food, trust your government, or scoff at old Indian curses.

From treatises on the environment and the state of public education to the dirty business of political money-laundering and international finance, he tackles it all in a modern day Odyssey-like adventure stretching from France's Mississippi Valley Empire in 1700 to the gene-altering labs of the present. Buckle your safety belts!
