Further Than the Furthest Thing
THE STORY: On a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic secrets are buried. When the outside world comes calling, intent on manipulation for political and economic reasons, the islanders find their own world blown apart from the inside as well as beyond. FURTHER THAN THE FURTHEST THING is a beautifully drawn story, evoking the sadness and pathos of a civilization in crisis.
