May Day: Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction
Storm Elliot and Corporal Sean Cameron, survivors of a global catastrophe they know is far from over, have an urgent mission. They must fly into Sydney using powered paragliders to avoid the murderous government patrols on the ground to warn the city of the peril imminent it faces. An ancient nemesis is hurtling toward the planet. Survival means moving inland, away from the coast. However, the city is a fortress under a brutal lockdown.
They are not the only visitors to make it through the containment wall. A brilliant but ruthless scientist is an unwelcome passenger aboard an American nuclear submarine about to arrive in the harbor. A bizarre experiment is about to begin. One calculated to take advantage of the solar system-wide disaster that is only weeks away from re-visiting Earth. Storm will face a nemesis almost as terrifying as anything the universe can throw his way.
Praise from Amazon reviewers
This book has some serious suspense... Great apocalyptic read!! Very descriptive text and suspenseful... So many elements of truth that it is terrifying to think of the possibility... The characters are very endearing. I liked them from the get-go and they really got me invested in the story.
Author's Notes
Way back in 2015, I had no idea how prescient the orange cover for Jubilee Year and indeed the book's contents would turn out to be. It isn't easy to forget the widespread bushfires in Australia. That time we now call the Black Summer of 2019-2020. It isn't easy to forget that orange sky! May Day, the second book in the series, also hit the mark with what really is a tried and true trope in SF. That of the 'fortress city'. The book was published several years before 2021. Now Sydney has been locked down twice already. Life imitates art. If you enjoy intrigue, a grand conspiracy, and a wild ride, then these books are for you. Book III in the trilogy is under development and is scheduled for publication in late 2021-early 2022.
