About this listen
A country descending into civil war . . .
A young artist forced to cross a nation in chaos to retrieve her stolen masterpiece . . .
Her guide and guardian—whose past remains strangely obscure . . .
Georgie O'Halloran created an artistic and literary wonder—only to have it stolen from her and published under the thief's name. Worse, it's the inspiration for a wildly popular video game that's become a favorite among the militants seeking to transform America through bloodshed.
To confront the plagiarist, Georgie must cross an entire continent erupting in violence. Her only companion: Shane Riordan, "Irish as wet grass," a fiercely loyal friend with a beautiful singing voice, an oddly encyclopedic memory—and impressive fighting skills.
It turns out, however, that Georgie isn't the only one on a cross-country quest. Shane is on a journey all his own, far beyond even Georgie's imagining.

A must read for fans of imaginative story telling.
I loved this book! It’s original, lyrical and so engaging that I read it in two days. It felt mythical with its tragic protagonist, Shane, doomed to return after death again and again throughout millennium. He is a bit like Sisyphus, tasked with an unknown goal to accomplish before he can rest.
Set in the near future of the United States, sinking into a Orwellian civil war, our hero becomes friend and protector of an emotionally fragile artist, Georgie.
Corbett’s characters are drawn with detailed skill, characters you could love or hate. Maybe you’ll see yourself reflected in one of them.
I hope there are more tales of Shane Riordan in the near future.
Bravo Mr. Corbett!
