A Persistent Echo (Unabridged‪)‬

1897.

August Simms-explorer, soldier, world traveler-returns to Rhome, Texas to chase one last adventure.

Hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported, seven years before the Wright brother's initial flight, and August intends to solve the airship mystery.

Instead, the past comes calling. A murder, a lynching, and the death of his wife fifteen years earlier are inextricably tied to the present, and the adventure August finds will not be the one he expects.
