The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir tells—through letters, emails, and Uncle Teddy's own manuscript—a troubling tale of empire, slavery, and betrayal. Reading the memoir forces two friends to reexamine their childhood experiences of abduction. The Aleronde Trilogy is three very different books but one epic sci-fi tale. Visitors from Earth witness the shocking downfall of Aleronde. They share an unexpected role in this catastrophe with a mysterious figure from the past who unpicks the fabric of the Aleronden empire with that most dangerous thing: an idea. The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir and Saint John's Ambulatory are each prequels to Aleronde the Great and can be read in either order.
