<b>ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD FINALIST 2022</b><BR><BR><b>Drink down the brew and dream of a better Earth.</b><BR><BR>Skyward Inn, within the high walls of the Western Protectorate, is a place of safety, where people come together to tell stories of the time before the war with Qita.<BR><BR>But safety from what? Qita surrendered without complaint when Earth invaded; Innkeepers Jem and Isley, veterans from either side, have regrets but few scars.<BR><BR>Their peace is disturbed when a visitor known to Isley comes to the Inn asking for help, bringing reminders of an unnerving past and triggering an uncertain future.<BR><BR>Did humanity really win the war?<BR><BR><b>This is <i>Jamaica Inn</i> by way of Jeff Vandermeer, Ursula Le Guin, Angela Carter and Michel Faber, a beautiful story of belonging, identity and regret.</b>
