THE DAY THE EARTH SHOOK A story of climate chaos survival Synopsis This novel is at the vanguard of the latest literary genre called Cli-Fi (climate fiction), which is sweeping the world. Books in this genre examine the consequences of ignoring global warming, through the actions of fictional characters. This is a story of two men, both fighting climate change in their own way. Jack Halliday is a disillusioned journalist who drops out to his own private paradise, determined to lower his carbon footprint and live a self-sustainable life. The other, his long lost son, is a student activist who organises radical demonstrations against fossil fuels, power generators, chemical companies and large supermarkets. He is eventually labelled a terrorist and finds himself on the run from government forces and the police. The two men are thrown together after a cataclysm, caused by global warming. The book observes the results of a catastrophic global warming event, and explores the challenges that a region would face if it were suddenly isolated from the rest of the country and a devastated planet. The action takes place in a rural region of Australia, and the responses and consequences to a global catastrophe would be the same in many parts of the world. Although this book falls into the"science fiction" category, there are no zombies, mutants or super-natural forces from outer space in this story. Instead it realistically examines the scenario that would face a region that was suddenly totally isolated, without fuel, medicines, imports or exports. The story spans six years, exploring the strategies necessary for the survival of the region when faced with financial collapse, violence from criminal groups attempting to profit from the chaos, and from external anti-democratic forces. Woven through these dramatic events is a human story on the lives and loves of the two main characters. It is a realistic examination of the actions and traditional skills necessary to make the region self-sufficient and sustainable, creating a form of a future Utopia.

About the Author LEE PEARCE BIO Lee Pearce has had a lifelong association and addiction to print media from the time he sold his first pictures to a magazine at the age of seventeen. His teenage years were spent hitchhiking around Australia, photographing and writing stories for magazines. From Italian cane cutters on sugar plantations in Queens land to the beatnik bars in Sydney, he photographed feature stories on all aspects of Australian life. In 1959 he sailed for Europe, eventually winding up in London in winter in the middle of a recession. He was homeless and penniless and endured six months living on the streets in desperate circumstances. With these last few shillings, he bought some film and photographed a campaign for nuclear disarmament rally. He sold a picture to a Fleet Street paper and then Photographed a riot in Belgium. He escaped the English climate and spent some time in Greece and then a year working on a kibbutz in Israel, all the time doing stories for English and Australian publications. In 1963, with his new wife, he hitchhiked overland to India, from where he returned to Australia. All of his adventures, and many of the photographs from this period are contained in his book "Hit the Road", which will be published later this year. He then spent two years freelancing for many magazines including Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan and POL, eventually returning to Europe, photographing and writing many stories on India and Nepal on the way. He resettled in London producing features for many Fleet Street newspapers and Australian publications, before spending six months in Spain. On his return to Australia, he immediately left for Fiji where he produced a book called "Fiji Today". For the last thirty years he has written and photographed for most Australian magazines and many newspapers. He has produced audio-visuals and videos on New Guinea as well as a book on Australia's national parks called "Wild Places of Australia". He wrote and photographed and self published a coffee table book called "North coasting… Life on the Northern Rivers of New South Wales". He abandoned photojournalism when he suffered severe vision loss and called on his colourful life experiences to write fiction full-time. His major new work "The Day The Earth Shook" is available from Amazon, Kindle and all e-book outlets, and the paperback edition is available through Amazon from July, 2015. His second novel "Deadly Flower" will be available by the end of the year.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. important book, should be read! By Keith Bashford This is a novel based on a likely future. The characters play out their lives while the planet, and particularly Australia, harvest the results of a society based on heedlesss greed and environmental destruction. It is a good read. The author has obviously enjoyed a broad life experience and now has the wisdom to take a wide view of it all. As the characters play out their roles, the author makes comment on the societal circumstances that are leading to, or as a result of government and business policies. These asides are acidic and funny, doubly so because they are so often true.Thge picture Pearce paints isn't a pretty one, but today's circumstances aren't pretty either; and the novel does have a soft heart with characters searching for love in spite of it all. More people should read Lee Pearce. He has something to say, and he says it in a way that will win him much support.

I recommend it for anyone who wonders about the future By bren claridge It's about time somebody wrote a book about the potential repercussions of humanity ignoring global warming. It's also a relief to read about what actions reasonable people would have to take after a global climate crisis. The characters are well drawn and there is enough action as the isolated community scrambles for survival, to make this book hard to put down. It also makes us question many of the things that we take for granted. For all the global devastation this is a strangely positive book, giving humanity a second chance to get things right. I recommend it for anyone who wonders about the future. William Douglas
