Sha'Kert: End of Night
A Heartfelt and Mesmerizing Sci-Fi Drama
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.

Reviews
Sha'kert is a beautifully written, stand alone work. It is original, compelling and thought provoking. It is as much a diagnostic of the human spirit as it is a unique piece of science fiction. It delves into human behaviors and values as much as classic science fiction interests and forces the reader to consider some pretty difficult questions. Quite simply, a superb account.
