About the book

The story of To The North

After fleeing south and wallowing in self-pity, by random chance he hears of a faint signal over a functioning network. It comes from far north, somewhere in Idaho on the Montana border, near the eruption's epicentre. Soul sick, and with little remaining purpose in his life, Garner decides to follow the signal, an unmistakable if faint cry for help.

“A solitary, existential journey, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy... evocative... masterful. (Self Publishing Review, 2018)”To The North
