Island and Main: The Sudden Quiet: Book I

By Joshua Veith

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 undertake a mission 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, befriended 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.
