He sends troubled but insightful city archivist Jakob History to a bartering meet-up, hoping an interview with tribal leader Abraham Trapper might help further peaceful relations. Instead, the encounter leads Jakob to reexamine America's past, to a danger-filled glimpse of Abraham's tribal life, and to a final, fateful encounter with Abraham, these revealing human strengths and weaknesses that are at the basis of civilization itself. 2090 A.D. - The America nation has collapsed, and its remnants have been at war for a half-century.
