Welcome to the
From the Abbey Bookstore!
Those of you who like science fiction will
love Tripods Attack by John McNichol. The
story takes place in an alternative history
nineteenth century, where technology is based on
steam. The main character is G.K. Chesterton as a boy.
His counterpart is the young H.G. Wells. These two
characters are in the midst of developing very opposite
worldviews, which are put to the test when aliens invade
Earth in a plot very much like H.G. Well's War of the
Worlds. In this version, though, the aliens meet their
match in a Catholic priest named Father Brown
(wink, wink).
This is a fascinating
story, filled with
allusions to Chesterton's
Fr.Brown mysteries!
