In the so-called redoubts or nine surviving villes in North America, such as Cobaltville, the Enclave towers house a series of offices and industrial facilities: "On B Level was the Historical Archives, a combination of library, musuem and computer center." (p. 27) Baron Cobalt, the mysterious ruler of this even more mysterious novel, wants to track her and her companion, Kane, a "former Magistrate of Cobaltville," to regain possession of an extraordinary stone that appears to hold the secret of a lost Earth.
