Expeditions: A Time Travel Journey

A year has passed since the mysterious Big Clap of Thunder hurled a South Dakota community into 1791, and the Changleska Coalition now faces its greatest test: survival as a sovereign Indigenous-led nation in a world shaped by slavery, empire, and colonial ambition.

Diplomats from Spain, France, Britain, and the young United States arrive at Omímeya, the former resort that now serves as the center of Changleska’s government. Mary Landrau, the new Chair of the Changleska Coalition, works to maintain stability and negotiate a path between powerful nations that do not expect Indigenous leadership to endure.

Meanwhile, Rose Chasing Hawk struggles to manage Omímeya as a corporation responsible for critical resources. She must balance business viability with human needs while navigating the pressures placed on her family and community. Oliver Jackson, a former police officer and Iraq War veteran, leads Changleska’s military forces and steps into a role he never imagined. Jamal Alston races to Boston to intervene in the rise of the cotton economy, risking everything to divert history toward justice. Kimímela, Rose’s daughter, begins to awaken abilities that may shift the balance of power far beyond Changleska’s borders.

Not everyone wants peace or a future shaped by Indigenous sovereignty. As competing nations advance their ambitions and Changleska fights to protect its lands and free the enslaved, the community must decide how far they are willing to go to reshape the world of 1791 before the world reshapes them.

Expeditions is the powerful sequel to Circle for the Earth, blending speculative fiction, historical drama, Indigenous resistance, and political intrigue into a bold reimagining of America’s beginnings.

Perfect for fans of Eric Flint’s 1632, Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Years of Rice and Salt, and the works of Octavia Butler, and S. M. Stirling.
