In an isolated cabin in an Arctic wilderness, 14-year-old Sig is alone with a corpse: his father who has fallen through the ice on the lake outside and frozen to death only hours earlier. His sister and stepmother have gone to fetch help. Then, out of the Arctic darkness, comes a stranger: a rough giant of a man claiming that Sig's father owes him a share of a horde of stolen gold--and threatening terrible violence if Sig doesn't reveal the gold's whereabouts. Sig knows nothing about the gold, but he does know that there's a loaded Colt revolver hidden in the cabin's storeroom--a gun that his father had said would protect him and taught him to use, but which his mother had abhorred, telling him to have faith in God's protection instead. Revolver jumps between the lonely cabin and the events of the Alaska Gold Rush ten years earlier, gradually unspooling the mystery of the stolen gold and the terrifying stranger. Written with the intensity and precision of a one-act play, this dramatic novel turns on whether and when Sig will use the hidden gun, and his reasons for doing so.

There are many paths we can take throughout our lives. Perhaps an infinite amount. And for anyone who’s ever wondered just where they might have ended up had they chosen a different route, there is a new drug called Satellite hitting the streets to show them exactly where –and who- they could be if their personal situations and the world itself were even slightly altered. For a young man named Jeffery Eon, Satellite sounds like the perfect escape from his miserable existence. A longtime junkie and periodic whore, Eon can’t wait for the next fix, forever chasing after the blissful experience of that first high when he was a man of wealth and importance. But Satellite is nothing if not unpredictable. Where will it take him? Who will he be? His mind trapped in a body that is not his own and yet, somehow, still is. One soul, vastly changed, with every new puncture of the needle. From the author of Ghost Chant and House of Fallen Trees comes a new novel sure to make you question the trails you have followed and how your life could have been with only one tiny adjustment, whirling your world into an entirely different revolution.
