It's the end of civilization, but the show must go on. The Loyale Traveling Circus and Menagerie is in turmoil. During their ocean voyage from British India to Boston, someone murdered their ringmaster. The killer must be one of their own. Unfortunately, that is the least of their problems. While they were at sea, an aetheric calamity sent a wave of death rolling across the world. In post-Civil War America, a third of the population died outright, and many of the survivors suffer strange nervous symptoms that are steadily increasing in severity. Basic technology is also rendered dangerously unstable by the disaster. The circus members find themselves traveling through the collapse of civilization. In such desperate times, what use is a circus? If they can defend themselves against the starving populace, if they can outwit and outperform the political factions that have seized power, if they can fight off the ravening monstrosities born of the aether storm ... they just might find the answer.

Now on the fringe of bankruptcy, Von Crocker has no choice but to accept an offer to become a government contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan. Once Crocker arrives in Afghanistan, he is confronted with a whole new set of obstacles which includes some of the most wayward individuals he has ever encountered along with the unfamiliar customs of Afghan life, religion and culture. After settling in, he begins penning journals directed to Ernest Hemingway that share his startling revelations regarding death, love, patriotism, and those who fight and make the ultimate sacrifice in war. As his tour continues, Crocker's entries vividly describe the dangers he encounters while living among those who must struggle everyday to survive. But it is not until he finally returns home after his tour that he discovers whether it was a lesson learned...
