Illustrated novel with color illustrations

294 pages, large print

paperback format

1st edition

The world seems on the verge of collapse when something different comes along...

The Clerk takes a leap of faith and signs up with the Org. On the first mission, the Clerk is paired with you, the Ink Drinker.

The duo crash lands into a coastal island setting with an otherworldly modernist style that almost reads like a report, but with genre-crossing elements of fairytale, sci-fi, romance, and even adventure. Memorable characters drive the plot and leave the Clerk and the Ink Drinker in an unexpected place.

The Clerk and the Ink Drinker in the Outer Lands Mission probes the idea of progress, offers the gift of camaraderie, and emerges with more questions than answers.
