"Journey to the Midnight Sun" is a trilogy, and "Lake of the Swans" is its second book - a fictional story set in the years 3010 - 3012. John is a horseman from the west, crazy enough to believe men once walked on the moon. Laureal is an emerald-eyed savage crazy enough to love him. And the 'Great Spirit' loves them both. After setting out together on a daring adventure to regain what had been lost in book one, John, Laureal, Emma, and the rest of the Emerson family arrive to the Lake of the Swans. Whereas in book one the family ran a gauntlet and almost perished, now in book two, the family reap the fruits of success, and they find themselves in an adventure beyond anything they had imagined.
