The moon is struck by an unseen object. Radio frequencies are filling with noise. As Earth continues on an uncertain course, former priest Jody Conque embarks on a journey across the country to his wife and daughter. His path is marked by increasingly sinister and surreal events that reveal Jody's own unique powers, and soon he finds himself at the center of an invisible war with an unknowable enemy far more dangerous than the unraveling universe. Jody must forego easy answers about the cosmos and his place within it to face the encroaching darkness and forge a path forward for the world.
With a lyrical tone, UNDER A DARKENING MOON finds Michel Faber's THE BOOK OF STRANGE NEW THINGS on a philosophical and spiritual road trip through Andrew Hunter Murray's THE LAST DAY. It is the first installment in a series filled with endearing, richly-conceived characters and through whose volumes Earth itself plots a course to a destination no one will have anticipated.
