"If a stranger from any world, old or new, wandered into that clearing, they would witness the birth of a new species not yet seen or imagined on earth."
Welcome to a collection of historical short stories like no other, spanning ancient Greece to medieval Cairo, the plains of first-century Peru to the Belgian Congo, shogunate Japan to 1960s Los Angeles, and dawn-of-creation Australia to modern-day Britain. Through twelve evocative tales of longing and loss, Exiles Incorporated depicts a volatile world of hostile landscapes, where humans strive to belong amid the cruelty of conquest, the madness of desire and the transience of love. In his third book, Philip Parrish explores the highest and lowest places of the human psyche, as the powers of nature and the powers of the spirit collide to create searing moments of personal transformation.
