Edward Adrift

Reviews

“...Edward Stanton is one of the more distinct and interesting characters you’ll encounter in contemporary fiction, and it’s never dull accompanying him. Edward Adrift, like 600 Hours before it, is such a well-written, big-hearted book that its pages fly by and will leave its readers no doubt hoping for a trilogy.” —Billings Gazette

“Mr. Lancaster has triumphed again. With remarkable speed, he has made himself into one of Montana’s most important writers.” —The Billings Outpost

“Edward Stanton is back! And he returns in a darkly funny novel that’s frequently lyrical and exhibits an uncanny grace. Once again, Craig Lancaster blesses us with a glimpse of universal emotions, and how the turnings of a human heart can be simple and complex at the same time.” —Ron Franscell, bestselling author of The Sourtoe Cocktail Club

“It’s hard to know who I adore more: Craig Lancaster’s character Edward Stanton or Lancaster himself for creating him.” —Jessica Park, bestselling author of Flat-Out Love

“Edward Adrift is that rarest of things: a sequel that is actually better than its predecessor. In the case of Craig Lancaster’s new book, that’s saying a lot because I loved 600 Hours of Edward with all the passionate joy of a botanist discovering a new butterfly. That first novel possessed a distinct voice told by a unique character who immediately endeared himself to the reader. Now, in Edward Adrift, Lancaster deepens our understanding of 42-year-old Edward Stanton, who is plowing through the world in spite of (or perhaps because of) his Asperger’s. Edward Adrift is richer, funnier, and even more moving than our first encounter with the man obsessed with time and temperature.” —David Abrams, author of Fobbit
