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!
