Fortress

Three strangers Iris Alistair and Spike are casually ripped from their normal lives to find themselves in a vast desert. Their journey to discover the reason puts them in the path of two unpredictable smiling gods. Guided by intuition and the words of a possibly-long-dead doctor from 1886 they brave sand caves ruby bugs too much diner food a medicine show many baffling visions and an unexpectedly divine performance at a local music hall all while wondering if the cheerful hints offered by the enigmatic Twin Gods are as helpful as they seem. Instantly engrossing and wonderfully re-readable this is an intriguing tale of fate (like or not) of true soul-love that transcends time and space and the healing power of French fries.A combination of Stephen King and Roald Dahl. - Jim Kilpatrick author of Little Bat Koku
