What if an entire country never existed? We live in that reality.

Collurtia is a microcontinent (or perhaps a large island) in the North Pacific, halfway between the Aleutian and Hawaiian islands.

Those are the opening lines of What If Not? The Culture and History of Collurtia, a basic primer on a land that only exists in the alternate reality of this story. A team of exceptional individuals, hired by Dayne Pacific Construction to salvage a troubled railroad contract, are assigned this book on their way to Collurtia.

A civil engineer, a coder, an editor, a scheduler, and Georgie Henshall, an anthropologist whose value to the team is in doubt.

When their plane goes down in a wild, tribal region, the team’s poor understanding of Collurtia becomes a barrier not only to the contract, but to their very survival.
