We\u2019re always pleased to see a new book from Alan M Clark<\/strong>, not only a talented author but also, as it happens, an award-winning artist. The Will\u2019ven\u2019t Bin<\/em>, just out from IFD Publishing (15th<\/sup> October), joins his other intriguing historically-set works, this time with a Young Adult focus and science fiction elements. It\u2019s a good read, and as usual, Clark brings his impeccable feel for period and detail with him, as well as a deeply sensitive ear for the real hopes and fears of young people. To such an extent, in fact, that our first thought was, although the speculative elements are intriguing, this book could also be enjoyed simply as a period adventure story.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the outline of the book, and below that, an excerpt provided by Clark himself:<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the Great Depression, Martin, a 12-year-old only child of Nashville, Tennessee, has lost his father to polio and his mother has become overbearing. She hires a World War One veteran, Seth, to work at their home. Unbeknownst to her, Seth suffers mental illness. When he drives Martin\u2019s beloved dog Fritz away, the boy has had enough loss. Martin goes against his mother\u2019s and sets out to find Fritz, an odyssey that takes him into dangerous, unknown territory. He finds power-hungry men seeking a mysterious cache of futuristic weapons\u2014the Will\u2019ven\u2019t Bin\u2014and are willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

EXCERPT FROM THE WILL\u2019VEN\u2019T BIN<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Seth took something out of his pocket. Watching him rub the thing with his thumb, I recognized the green piece of flint.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey,\u201d I said. \u201cThat\u2019s mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at me curiously, but otherwise ignored my words.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay I see that rock?\u201d<\/p>\n

He held the stone up in the dim light. The piece of flint having the same fish shape as the one I\u2019d discovered at the spring house, I knew he\u2019d stolen it. \u201cWhere did you get it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI picked it up off the ground in France during the war. It\u2019s my lucky charm. It hasn\u2019t felt good in my hands lately, so I hid it. It seems to quiver a bit when I touch it. I can\u2019t say it ever did that before. I\u2019m trying to get used to it.\u201d He eyed me in a way that made me uncomfortable. \u201cDid you find it in the floor of the spring house? Are you the one who drew on it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe,\u201d I said stupidly. His cloudy gaze had rattled me.<\/p>\n

Seth held the stone out for me to see it in the light. He pointed at the near-perfect rectangle. \u201cI scratched that into the stone with a knife during an artillery barrage that went on for so long, some of the men went mad. Not wanting that to happen to me, I concentrated on making the best rectangle I could. I imagined the lines were walls to keep the war and what it might do to me away from the other parts of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMust have dulled the blade. That\u2019s hard stone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDulled it so badly, I couldn\u2019t sharpen it well enough later and had to get a new knife.\u201d<\/p>\n

He jabbed at that rectangle again. \u201cI trapped 1918 in there. You put another rectangle over mine. Yours holds 1933. That star is me. I truly do not know what will come of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sounded upset.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is that star you?\u201d I asked pointing. \u201cI put the dot there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI made it a star.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd how is that you?\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how I know. I just do. Even if you scratched it there, that glowing dot feels like me, trapped between the years 1918 and 1933.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an odd thing to say, odder still that you had the thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everything makes sense,\u201d he said with a huff, his words full of disgust. \u201cSome things you know in your gut. Took me a while to understand that. You\u2019ll see for yourself one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

That sounded like nonsense. I considered the possibility that the sickness he\u2019d spoken of had made him think like that.<\/p>\n

Yet hadn\u2019t I believed I\u2019d communicated with dead Indians? I kept that to myself.<\/p>\n

Seth looked like he was trying to move one of the rectangles cut into the hard stone. Why he thought he could do that, I don\u2019t know, but he seemed to succeed in making the rectangles match up, one exactly over the other.<\/p>\n

Deep booming off to the east caught our ears. The sound wasn\u2019t much like those that came from the train yard. Then I heard a flat popping that sounded like distant gunfire.<\/p>\n

Seth, in a panic, rubbed at the stone until the rectangles separated.<\/p>\n

The booming and gunfire ceased suddenly as if a door had been closed. \u201cSorry,\u201d Seth said, looking like a little boy who had done something wrong. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you move one of those rectangles?\u201d I asked\u2026<\/p>\n
