Overview

When a massive solar storm sends a pulse of electro-magnetic energy towards the earth, the world's electricity supply is destroyed. The damage is so widespread that repair could take decades. People everywhere struggle with the loss of technology, transport, communications, and the usual infrastructure for supplying food and water. It’s a gentle apocalypse with no zombies, viruses or meteorites, but the effects are just as disruptive as a major natural disaster.

In suburban Auckland, Averie finds the disaster shakes her out of her rut as she learns new skills to survive. After her previous uneventful life, still mourning the loss of her husband and missing her absent son, she finds the new challenge a welcome adventure as members of her neighbourhood rally to support each other against the fear of a cold and hungry winter. But the teenage waif she takes under her wing is not all he seems. When Averie moves to a small rural community and elderly residents start to die, with no forensic science or law enforcement she is forced to investigate the deaths herself.

About the Author

Bev Robitai currently works as a writer, book coach, and freelance photographer while travelling in New Zealand and Ontario in Canada. It's an itinerant lifestyle of year-round summer involving boats and motorhomes and a ski chalet. She writes mostly light crime fiction, sometimes based in the theatre and sometimes straying into post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Her novel Murder in the Second Row was launched in June 2010 in a historic theatre that was also used as the setting for Body on the Stage. A decade of backstage experience gave her the raw material for both books.

A stand-alone novel Eye for an Eye is the tale of a quest for justice, inspired by the actions of a real-life conman whose trail of victims made the author angry enough to imagine retribution - in some very inventive ways...

The Sunstrike novels are set in a post-apocalyptic present day world when a major solar storm has wiped out all electrical technology. They are optimistic survival adventures following normal people learning and adapting to difficult new circumstances.
