HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SAVE YOUR CHILD?

Greg and Lou learn that their daughter has a terminal illness. In their desperation, they make a deal from which there is no return. When their crimes are exposed, their world is turned upside down.

Henry wants nothing more than to leave his Amish community behind, even as their land is under threat; their traditions under fire; and their faith faces its greatest test. But his mother is his world - where she goes, so too will he.

Circumstances bring these two worlds together - a family banished to the edge of the galaxy; a community praying for a new life and the re-orientation of their destiny. 

But when fate abandons them to an uncharted, inhospitable planet, some struggle for survival while others embrace the opportunity to explore this strange new world. Relationships are tested, beliefs are tried and emotions are pushed to the limit.

Yet Sha'Kert has a place for all.

About the author

Ishmael lives with his wife in Brisbane in Australia. He's been writing since 1996, with many short and flash fiction published prior to approaching Temple Dark Books with his debut novel, Sha'Kert: End of Night. In this multi-perspective first-person POV, Ishmael's writing is genuine and heartfelt, insightful and raw. He weaves a tale of desperation, isolation, separation and – ultimately – discovery that manages to comment on the ills and obligation of modern society while screaming at us to find our own reason for living. Sha'Kert: End of Night was well received by Publishers' Weekly, and was nominated for the prestigious Ditmar Award by none other than Ion Newcombe, the editor and publisher of Antipodean SF, Australia's longest running online speculative flash fiction magazine. Ishmael has been interviewed on the Australian Book Lovers podcast, and an extract from Sha'Kert: End of Night was featured in the Canadian webzine, The Quarantine Review. Ishmael's highly anticipated SF series, Descent, will launch in 2024, with the first instalment, Diathesis. His short and flash fiction titles to date are available in two compilations, Hawking Radiation & Sex and the Single Cosmonaut; or together as one hardcover omnibus entitled Time in Lieu.
