The year is 1911. In Cold Spring Harbour, New York, the
newly formed Eugenics Records Office is sending its agents
to catalogue the infirm, the insane, and the criminal - with
an eye to a cull, for the betterment of all. Near Cracked
Wheel, Montana, a terrible illness leaves Jason Thistledown
an orphan, stranded in his dead mother's cabin until the
spring thaw shows him the true meaning of devastation - and
the barest thread of hope. At the edge of the utopian mill
town of Eliada, Idaho, Doctor Andrew Waggoner faces a
Klansman's noose and glimpses wonder in the twisting face of
the patient known only as Mister Juke. And deep in a
mountain lake overlooking that town, something stirs, and
thinks, in its way: Things are looking up. Eutopia follows
Jason and Andrew as together and alone, they delve into the
secrets of Eliada - industrialist Garrison Harper's attempt
to incubate a perfect community on the edge of the dark
woods and mountains of northern Idaho. What they find
reveals the true, terrible cost of perfection - the cruelty
of the surgeon's knife - the folly of the cull - and a
monstrous pact with beings that use perfection as a weapon,
and faith as a trap.
