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.
“Creating a doomsday novel that feels dangerous yet child-friendly”
You and the Clerk crash land into an intoxicating coastal country setting and unwittingly find yourselves on a quest for a bridge to the future. With an otherworldly modernist style that stays grounded yet crosses genres, the illustrated novel enchants, enlists and challenges the reader to complete the mission. Memorable characters drive the plot through transformative events and leave the Clerk and the Ink Drinker in an unexpected place.
“With short paragraphs and simple wording, N.G. Swett ranges from apocalyptic, to conversational, to humorous, creating a doomsday novel that feels dangerous yet child-friendly. THE CLERK AND THE INK DRINKER is a uniquely-written, stylistic apocalyptic novel that highlights friendship and facing hurdles together.” ~ IndieReader(review link)
