Meet Finnigan Heller, drifter: reclusive, abrasive, and clairvoyant. He’s also been struck by lightning more times than you’ve had hot dinners. It happens in every town he passes through. But is he following the weather or is the weather following him? Heller’s bizarre “gift” has him on the run from a scientist, a Canadian Intelligence agent, and an Englishman with a taste for violence. ‘Struck’ is a story about thunderstorms, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, the nature of luck, andthe fate of one very attractive nose.

” ‘Struck’, a brisk and brain-tweaking debut from Calgary writer Geoffrey Bromhead, graduates lightning from flash-and-boom backdrop to driving force of theme and plot.” – The Globe & Mail
