BOOK 1: ISLAND AND MAIN
In book one of Sudden Quiet, society has collapsed, the modern age has expired, and global mortality is curving toward 99 percent. In northern Michigan, the electrical grid has been down for over a year. Three scouts journey from Beaver Island to the darkened mainland. They're on a search for allies and information, led by Keith Two-Crow, a Vietnam veteran and Ojibwe elder. Keith's two charges, Mukwa and Miin, are foster siblings unrelated by blood but connected to the green-pulse of the planet by their adoptive grandmother, Samantha, a traditional healer and mystic. After reaching the mainland, the scouts are targeted by traffickers, abducted by eco-elves, and are astonished--as readers will be--at Mother Nature's resurgence. Island and Main is a dark exploration of humanity and the hope and healing offered by community and our connection to nature.
BOOK 2: DARK STRAITS
The grid has gone dark, and the planet’s population, cut to the bone. The Mackinac Bridge is the iron key to Michigan. Various groups—Eco-Elves, Virals, Rangers, and Indigenous—battle in Dark Straits for regional control.
In Sudden Quiet: Book II, gangs of Virals are bossed by “Sharkey,” the CEO of Panzer Pharmaceuticals, who seeks to carve out a Great Lakes fiefdom.
Panzer’s ghoulish paramilitary, the Aghori, raid Washington D.C., torture ELF extremists, and sabotage the Line 5 oil pipeline beneath the Straits. Foster siblings, Miin and Mukwa, flex their green powers, channeling nature’s resurgence to combat infection and petro-pollution.
Dark Straits is a thrilling expansion of the trilogy, pushing readers into deep and dangerous waters.
