The time of the Khram Tabwuiq is drawing near and the Grand Inquisitor has finally learned that the key to it resides within the Word made flesh. He will stop at nothing in obtaining his prize - a young woman named Selene Ross. The devastating events of a final war of attrition decimate the human population to a mere 1 billion. Yet, a glimmer of hope lies in the discovery of a new planet - Terrah. However, rebuilding the human race is not as simple as the Reunited Nations had conceived. Sent to secure the new colony world, Lieutenant Selene Ross and the crew of the battlecarrier Solitude quickly become humanity's last hope for survival when the forces of the Grand Inquisitor strike with overwhelming force. Little does Selene know that she is the reason for the war. But she is not alone on her journey as she pines for fellow pilot Victor, who secretly shares the same longing for her under the jealous eyes of his comrade. Trapped in a hostile, militaristic world, the young souls aboard the Solitude must battle their own demons and confront the mysterious enemy from beyond the void.

Max is back! After a Lusty Winter in Ontario, Canada’s hearty humorist returns to the prairies with a naval spoof that’s awash with nautical nonsense. The time is early in the Second World War, the setting is Wabagoon, Saskatchewan, and the “ship” is a converted garage, christened hmcs Porpoise and used for the training of local navy recruits. And when the Porpoise weighs anchor in the Canadian dustbowl, the navy insists that sand is water, windows are portholes, and floors are decks. In the midst of it all – and very much at sea – is Robin Evelyn Francis Diespecker, familiarly known as “Dink”. A young, brash, impetuous boy, eager for adventure, Dink joins the war to get away from home and the Great Depression. But the “war,” as embodied on board the Porpoise, gives him both more and less than he bargained for, as one misadventure follows another. The people he meets and the exploits he survives – both “ashore” and “on board” – are rendered with the master touch of Max Braithwaite, whose wry humorous vision keeps a salvo of satire and comic escapades right on target all the way through. A riotous romp with a poignant edge, Braithwaite’s newest novel makes a mockery of war and finds fathoms of fun in human foibles.
