Flore de La Normandie, Phanerogames Et Cryptogames Semi-Fasculaires (1869)

A brief and twisted trip to the dead side shows Leland and Nikol that bureaucracy is thick everywhere. A positive and negative force work against one another; Sine and Cosine. The positive side of the system provides them with a way to live a fantasy of extreme wealth. The tradeoff: they absolutely cannot disclose what they have learned on the other side. The negative side will stop at nothing to get Leland and Nikol to talk, knowing it will profit their side and change the political balance. Treasure hunts, deadly chases, and the conundrum of moral choice make this not just a slam-bang adventure, but also a challenge to thinking readers and those that speculate about the unknown.
