Beyond the Frontier: Innovations in First-Year Composition is a compilation of the latest research in first-year composition presented at, and inspired by, the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association’s “Beyond the Frontier” panels. The book is divided similarly into panels, with the editors having collected a sampling of the composition practices that will stand the test of time. The purpose of the book is to present the reader with innovative methods and techniques for incorporation into the first-year composition classroom, or simply to provide food for thought – passing the torch, as it were – so that new research can be conducted and new findings disseminated. The division of the book mimics the panels one would typically find on a particular day during the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association Conference, providing the reader with a taste of what it’s like to be in the room with first-year composition scholars.

Mitch Watson discovered something where it did not belong. Not in the cave in which it was found, not in the remote mountain range, not in this world. A small electronic device, seemingly very old and apparently non-functional. It is clearly of advanced design, but what is its purpose? Mitch is intrigued but he has more pressing concerns; he and fellow scientist Kate Brady must try to stay alive in a cold and barren landscape after surviving a plane crash. He soon discovers that the artifact is still operational – although he is not entirely certain what that means. It seems to have multiple functions, some benign, some dangerous, some unknown. Activating the device has other consequences, alerting hostile world powers to its existence. Now Mitch and Kate must escape the wilderness while being pursued by men who seek to obtain this artifact at any cost. They are on the run, but they may not be the easy targets their pursuers expect…
