Synopsis: LOOKOUT

1956. Kootenai National Forest, Montana. When smokejumper Nathan Garrett perishes in a raging wildfire, his surviving family's hopes and happiness turn to ashes.

Now, one year following Nathan's death, wife, and mother of two, Jolene Garrett, takes her crumbling family to the Morning Star lookout seeking solace through closure--to scatter her husband's remains. But something far beyond the reach of their wildest imaginings awaits the Garrett family in the Montana wilderness--something more powerful than their anguish and torment. Something that transcends space and time. No telephones. No electricity. No transportation. No escape.

Morning Star #1 is now up for preorder from Diamond (FOC: February 26, 2024), Lunar (FOC: February 25, 2024) and the Mad Cave site. It arrives at your LCS on March 27, 2024.

"As much as it is anything else, Morning Star is inspired by the two Steves--King and Spielberg, who have both demonstrated that imagination alone can empower us to look the unimaginable squarely in the eye, to unflinchingly stare down those things both terrible and horrifying and through that experience draw inspiration and courage to find catharsis, if not outright joy. Morning Star is just that, a trip into the unimaginable that demands our characters face down their fears deep in the wilds of the Montana Kootenai Forest." – Writer, Tim Daniel

"When Tim brought Morning Star to me, the bones of which were firmly in place, I immediately connected to the story. It brought me back to watching E.T. in the theatre, seeing this family confronting impossible events. And how the kids saw it differently from the adults. That mystery can be both terrifying and wonderful. That is the vibe we tried to bring to Morning Star. How hope and imagination can guide you through grief to a better place on the other side. That family, however you define it, can be a lighthouse through dark times." – Writer, David Andry

"This book has been living in my head for a while now, in fact my son who was the original reference for Charlie is now in college. Tim had pitched this story to me as a kind of love letter to our kids and families as well as the movies we loved growing up. The story was already great but I think DB brought another level of heart and weirdness to the book that it didn't have before."  – Artist, Marco Finnegan
