Reseña del editor:

1) The intemperate and unforgiving rock sentinel of Broughton Island, of the far flung sub Antarctic Tini Heke group, pays witness one day to the arrival of a solitary tourist, of a kind. A person of near equal intemperate and craggy nature, Mitch Broughton – a distant relative of the island's European namesake, accompanied by his long time companion – a parakeet of stout, if not rhetorical, vocabulary – stumble ashore to spend Three Days on Tini Heke. 2) Gladys Garthportal enjoys a sip, a tipple, the occasional genteel swallow even. And with her best friend, Hilda, in tow, the two elderly chums find themselves more often than not alright on any given night. Through long and stormy Dunedin City nights, along wind-whipped streets, or while occasioning a beloved locale or another, the two find shelter within each other's company. With an unexpected friend or two collected haphazardly along the way, Glad' and Hild' find their wee southern niche broadening in ways neither of them could ever have imagined. 3) Along the Hills and Dales – a remembrance of times spent, within a timeless land. 4) An inorganic man, Drone Three, wakes en route from a long forgotten point of departure to the appearance of a mysterious female entity. With an equally unknowable destination in gradual approach upon the galactic horizon, and while in perpetual attempt to gain some sense of situation at hand, 'Three finds himself at increasing odds with the ship – Ni'Shaar's – ubiquitous control computer. 5) An end, of which man had come close to bringing upon himself time and again, now in the year 3085 – with the detection of an ominous, other-worldly, communique – comes increasingly to appear as final reality.

Biografía del autor:

Born under the slowly clearing skies of mid 70s Pittsburgh, PA, and having been swept to the shores of southern New Zealand at an early age, J. Garthwaite is once again a Stateside resident. When attempting a resemblance of residency, he spends his time driving large trucks and does occasionally conjure a roadside, or wayland, tale as the long miles pass.
