      Scene One

      The big Liberty V-12 thundered away up front as Nathan Wyatt studied the map on his knee-board.

      The next beacon should have been visible by now, but there was an unusual, elevated fog over the frozen northwest that night. It couldn’t really be called cloud, it was just moist air trapped under an inversion layer.

      The moon cast its pale light over his left shoulder, its reflection blinding in the instrument panel when he had his head in the wrong place. He was getting a crick in the neck.

      People talked about Hell and its fires. In Nathan’s opinion, Hell was very much colder than that. The only question was why he had never been able to quit.

      He was following the meandering snake-track of a river, which really ought to be the North Platte. But if it was the North Platte, where were the beacons? Ten miles apart, there were hundreds between Chicago and Cheyenne where his ten-hour shift would end. The thing about the town of North Platte was that he was supposed to refuel there, and if he couldn’t find it, then he was in a heap of trouble.

      Flying at an altitude of a thousand or twelve hundred feet, he really should be seeing either this beacon or the next. Turning his head as far around as it would go, he could still see the last one. Visibility
