The future is a bloody great hole in the human mind. What we do to fill that hole defines our destiny.

It's 2204. Earth endures, drowned and burned by a changed climate. Other powers like Venus and Mars have risen to dominate the solar system. Johnny Tuupaliq, average dude from Nunavik, Earth, has a mostly mundane job as weapons officer on a nuclear-powered tin can of a spaceship, the corvette Stingray. Johnny's in love with his skipper, the fierce and intelligent Newfoundlander Captain Susannah Snow.

Johnny and Snow are on an epic journey, a voyage to the very edge of our solar system. Their mission: to uncover the true nature of a mysterious celestial phenomenon known as the Strawberry and investigate a series of bizarrely profane transmissions from its vicinity at the limits of known space.

Has life from another star made contact? Or is something else happening, something others in the system are willing to kill for? Johnny will have to brave the harsh reality of the 23rd century to find out. From the golden rings of Venus, to the ice caves of Europa, from the Belt to Baffin Island, he'll confront the cold unknown, seeking answers to questions hurled from the void. Is humanity on the cusp of revolutionary change? Is there a future for humanity at all? What is the Strawberry and who is the Strawberry Bastard?

The Strawberry Bastard is a sci-fi adventure for readers who want the action and romance of space opera and the cold unknown of hard sci-fi. It's like The Expanse written by Larry Niven and Farley Mowat. It's real, darkly funny, and unabashedly Canadian. The story thrusts the reader into a future setting of immense proportions, a solar system teeming with a diversity of human communities. On board the corvette Stingray, Johnny and Snow are joined by an unforgettable cast of characters (a grizzled Martian colonel, a polygamous Jovian aristocrat, a six foot bioluminescent frog person etc.) on a voyage to uncover a mystery wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in the fundamental uncertainty of the far future.

The Strawberry Bastard begins a new science fiction epic, the All Ends Trilogy. Release and pre-order dates to be announced for parts two and three of the series, The Eighth Fold and The War Till the End of Time.
