Overview
The grid has gone dark, and the planet's population, cut to the bone. The Mackinac Bridge is the iron key to Michigan. Various groups-Eco-Elves, Virals, Rangers, and Indigenous-battle in Dark Straits for regional control. In Sudden Quiet: Book II, gangs of Virals are bossed by ""Sharkey,"" the CEO of Panzer Pharmaceuticals, who seeks to carve out a Great Lakes fiefdom. Panzer's ghoulish paramilitary, the Aghori, raid Washington D.C., torture ELF extremists, and sabotage the Line 5 oil pipeline beneath the Straits. Foster siblings, Miin and Mukwa, flex their green powers, channeling nature's resurgence to combat infection and petro-pollution. Dark Straits is a thrilling expansion of the trilogy, pushing readers into deep and dangerous waters.

Reviews
""I am in love with these books. Veith has written of what my people dream."" -Hadassah GreenSky, Anishinaabe artist and activist ""Veith is one hell of a fine writer. I flew through the first dozen pages and lost myself in the following four hundred."" -Tom Powers, reviewer for Michigan in Books ""Wow! Veith's trilogy is haunting, deep, and raw, yet the Native American, mystical and nature elements soothed me throughout my reading."" -Debra Payne, author of The Burden of Sparrows ""This trilogy is gripping, offering readers an unflinching look at survival, morality, and the beauty of a healing world. It's a journey I can't wait to continue!"" -D. Stebbins author of A Hunter's War

For three years Josh worked as a deckhand on commercial fishing trawlers on the Atlantic. He graduated from the University of Michigan, later earning an MA in Literature from Eastern Michigan University. Today Joshua lives with his wife and two sons in Michigan, fishes and hikes in the same spots that Hemingway enjoyed as a young man, and teaches a literature class on JRR Tolkien.
