The great news keeps coming for THE PLOVER Brian Doyle's story about a man who flees his troubled life on land for the solitude of the Pacific Ocean, but ends up on a rousing adventure.

It's an April 2014 Indie Next Pick and has two starred reviews:

"Doyle has written a novel in the adventurous style of Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson but with a gentle mocking of their valorization of the individual as absolute. Readers will enjoy this bracing and euphoric ode to the vastness of the ocean and the unexpectedness of life."
  Library Journal, starred review 

“A rare and unusual book and a brilliant, mystical exploration of the human spirit.”
  Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A jack of all literary trades, Doyle augments his impressive oeuvre with this whimsical dreamscape of a nautical adventure about desolation and friendship. In stylized prose with frequent nods to Coleridge, Melville, and Stevenson, Doyle’s surreal world is alive with vivid characters, mysterious birds, and lyrical philosophy about contentment. A joyous journey of discovery."
  Booklist  

“Every sentence Doyle writes about the ocean smacks of authenticity…”
  Publishers Weekly
