Through the Kindness of Ravens - The Evolution of Hoke's Focus (Hardcover)


A bestselling novelist, world-renowned photographer, artist, and inventor, Jakeb Hoke loves life and loves being in control. But one fateful evening, a simple climb up his basement stairs finds his world crashing into oblivion and leaves his life hanging by a thread.

The trouble is, Jakeb has a lot to live for. His newest invention, Hoke's Focus, has the power to transform the manipulation of light, imagery, and even time in photography. Plans are already underway to unveil the discovery, one that has remained a closely-guarded secret-an amazing feat considering how famous he is-to all but Jakeb's closest friends.

Now, crushed under the weight of his collapsed house, but still very much alive, Jakeb can smell and taste death-but has not yet succumbed to it. Instead, his mind wanders to what was and what will be. In the context of space and time, such thoughts can carry more power, and bear witness to more darkness, than he could ever imagine.

Brilliant, dark, and daring in scope, "Through the Kindness of Ravens" delivers a fascinating, complex glimpse into the post-modern future where the survival of art and humanity cannot be promised, where the art of light becomes a catalyst for survival.
