Father Owen is keen, eager, and new; and utterly convinced that he knows what his adopted parish needs. But when a desperate teenager breaks into the chapel of St. Jude's School begging for sanctuary, Father Owen quickly stops being sure of anything. As he retraces the boy's journey, the young priest is thrust into an odyssey that calls everything into question- his integrity, his faith, and the rules of reality itself. The Hour And The Thief is a story taking place in The Same Strange World- a common setting for stories of action, adventure, the occasional romance, and the supra-natural. Leave your assumptions behind. In The Same Strange World everything will make sense, once you have a sense of everything.
