A wasted world. A dictator. A hounded bankster. A forsaken child. The redemption of two lives. But then came that day...Now the world has been wracked by one crisis too many. And Alias R. Martin, wanted and hiding, fearful and alone, is lost to himself. That is until the day he unbiddenly finds, among the throngs of refugees, a hapless little girl. Impulsively, in spite of himself and the danger incurred, he takes her back to his hotel. A senseless mistake. A further step against the new laws. But Rebecca inchmeal becomes the revelation; the love of his life, his daughter. His only goal then, in the course of their flight against adversity, alone against relentless foes, will be to save her, whatever the cost, including murder when the ghouls of her past resurface. But who are these?Part coming-of-age tale, part father-daughter love story, part speculative thriller, An Orphan's Whooshicree intensely probes into the impassioned parental bonds that resonate within our deep-rooted yearning for a safe haven to harbour ourselves and our emotions.A novel pursuing the vein of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", Andrew Krivak's "The Bear" or Paulette Jiles's "News of the World", while also akin to Kimi Cunningham-Grant's "These Silent Woods".
