Description
In post–Civil War Boston, a new war is brewing between tradition and technology as the young Massachusetts Institute of Technology becomes the center of a dangerous mystery. Marcus Mansfield, a Civil War veteran and former prisoner of war, joins MIT’s pioneering first class and is drawn into a series of unsettling events that threaten the school and the city beyond it. Blending historical detail, suspense, and scientific ingenuity, the novel explores America’s uneasy embrace of progress—and the fear that innovation may prove as destructive as it is liberating.
