This edition includes two complete novels which chronicle the journey of sailors fleeing to safety after an asteroid strike. Keelhouse carries the story beyond the initial crisis as the group regains a foothold on life.
Beneath the guise of imaginative fiction, Shrader Marks: Keelhouse explores the interrelationships of technology and culture, authority and rule, storytelling and survival. Shrader Marks: Keelhouse contains the complete two-volume saga which began with Rob Smith's debut novel, Night Voices. After its release in 2006, readers who had followed Cathy Pearson, Shrader Marks, and the flotilla of Great Lakes refugees wanted more. Here is the continuation of that story, an adventure which follows the exiles in their new life along the North Atlantic coast. Keelhouse picks up the narrative five years later as a broken world begins to reshape itself. In the emerging reality of a world stripped of much of its technology, the voices which haunted Shrader on the first voyage seem benign compared with rivaling human incursions. This double volume contains both an updated Night Voices and the much anticipated first release of Keelhouse. Readers will not miss any part of the compelling action.

Doubly delighted to see the two stories were combined into one book. Once again, the author is guilty of keeping me up all night to read "just one more chapter..." of not one, but two very good stories. Could not resist reading the first story all over again.
Full of just as much action as Night Voices, Keelhouse was well worth the wait, as it took me far away with descriptions so vivid you felt you were there, holding your breath or rooting for the characters as the story unfolds....
Could we hope that maybe, someday, there might be more?
Undercover Reunion, a novel of romance and adventure for Baby Boomers,fans of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and anyone who has ever attended their high school reunion!
