Skater in a Strange Land
D.W. Frauenfelder
- New
- edition
- with
- bonus
- material,
- maps,
- and
- more!24-year
- old
- Sherman
- Reinhardt
- dreams
- of
- playing
- professional
- ice
- hockey,
- but
- after
- a
- disappointing
- college
- career,
- he's
- going
- nowhere
- fast.
- Nowhere,
- that
- is,
- until
- he
- becomes
- the
- first
- North
- American
- to
- play
- in
- the
- mythical
- Borschland
- Hockey
- League.
- Borschland
- is
- a
- place
- lost
- in
- time,
- where
- the
- locals
- ride
- in
- horse-drawn
- carriages,
- fly
- helium-filled
- airships,
- and
- go
- mad
- for
- ice
- hockey.
- Making
- the
- team
- here
- turns
- out
- to
- be
- the
- least
- of
- Sherm's
- worries–he's
- an
- overnight
- sensation
- and
- his
- team
- is
- skating
- towards
- a
- championship.
- But
- almost
- as
- fast
- he's
- hip
- deep
- in
- talking
- bears,
- political
- intrigue,
- the
- attractions
- of
- Rachael,
- a
- Borschic
- poetess–and
- rumors
- that
- his
- hockey
- success
- is
- fixed.
- Is
- Sherm
- being
- used
- as
- a
- pawn
- in
- a
- grander
- game?
- Finding
- the
- truth,
- even
- if
- he
- loses
- Rachael,
- becomes
- this
- skater's
- ultimate goal.
