As a Judge for the administrators of the Codex Magica, Calico Shivers makes life-and-death decisions about wizards gone bad... then carries out the sentences. But nothing in his career has prepared him for his next assignment: termination of a wizard who time travels, creates monsters for fun, and skateboards to his evil-wizard lair. During an epic battle of magic and mundane munitions, Shivers is cast back to the 19th century American Old West, a time and place with limited magic, deep-seated prejudices, and no flush toilets.Shivers rides into Geyser Falls, a town beset by beings out of myth and legend and run by a smirking sheriff who mistakes Shivers for a real judge of the legal variety. Shivers's first trial involves a blue-haired, free-spirited witch sent back in time by the rogue wizard. In no time at all, Shivers is mired in murder, deceit, and treachery, all complicated by a tribe of angry cannibals with a grudge against the people of Geyser Falls. The future looks very grim for misplaced wizards of the 21st century, and Shivers is caught between protecting the beleaguered townspeople and the need to get back to his own time.

She was like a mother to young Abigail, who lived alone in her father's house after his death.The steampunk clan lived in a cluster on the outskirts of the town while the others lived in town. The land each group farmed was separated by the town. The steampunk men farmed with steam-powered machines while the townspeople balked at change and continued to use horses to pull their farming equipment. Personal differences caused a rift between the steampunk clan and the townspeople as time passed. Socializing with each other became almost nonexistent. Conflicts arose. Spying and gossip became the norm for those who were both curious and disgusted by the steampunk people.There are secrets, cooperation among the steampunk people, issues at school, defection from some townspeople, and terror in the air as Aviator struggles to get home.Enjoy the lives of the steampunk people with physical, mechanical, and social differences that grew from a group of forward-thinking people--the steampunk clan.
