Less than two days. That’s all the notice America gets of a fast-approaching solar storm so unprecedented in scale it sets the geomagnetic scientists in a panic. Many citizens don’t have the resources, or even the concern, to take preparatory measures for the overhyped-sounding warnings that life as they know it is about to be over.Joel McConnell, a self-made Washington DC businessman and survival hobbyist, is not one of those. But bugging out with his culture-loving girlfriend before the solar flare hits proves to be a too much of a challenge on such short notice. With the power grid suddenly destroyed, most modern electronics fried, and cities quickly descending into utter turmoil, they find the 500-mile journey to Joel’s well-stocked rural retreat a maze littered with opportunistic criminals and increasing hostility.That isn’t all. It soon becomes evident the sun storm did more than plunge the western world into darkness and civil unrest. It left something equally sinister behind. Something that feeds the human compulsion for disunity to such extremes it makes the recent political divisiveness in America look like harmonic brotherhood by comparison. With the effects worsening daily, Joel learns the highway is but one treacherous adversary he must defeat. Others can sprout where you least expect them.

Based on three years of interviews, Sole Survivor reconstructs Poon's remarkable ordeal. We learn of a ship's crew that saw him but refused to pick him up; his ingenious ways of trapping water and catching fish (later used in US Navy training films); and his arrival at land, only to find it an impenetrable jungle. When he was finally rescued at the mouth of the Amazon River, Poon was hailed as the "World's Champion Survivor." He still holds the Guinness World Record for survival at sea.

You won’t find out what happened to her. But you will find out how she handles it. 19 year-old Josie is stuck in boarding school and there are only two ways out: graduate - or commit suicide. It’s not the school that troubles her, but what happened before. And now she has to find a way to live with it. Walk with her through the hallways of the school she calls “the bitch kennel”, through emotional turmoil, unexpected friendship and a passion for painting that leads to the discovery of a strength she had only guessed at before."IHIBRP Recommended Read Award Review:The makings of a great novel lie in wait in “Survivor”, a short story by Annette Spratte that introduces readers to a 19-year-old by the name of Josie who is shipped off to boarding school after a personal trauma resulting from a botched suicide attempt.Despite her young age, Spratte’s Josie is quite a mature young woman in this coming-of-age story that sets her up on her path to the future. Josie imbued with the usual teenage angst, but Spratte endows her strong female-lead with a maturity beyond her years as she learns to deal with inept teachers, bullying classmates, a detached mother, and a father who treats her more like a corporate associate than a daughter. The plotline of this story is familiar, but the relationship between these characters is vivid and complex. More than a few teens and women will relate to this nightmare-dreamer who is just gearing up to take charge and shape her own destiny. I look forward to the debut of Spratte’s upcoming novel and highly recommend this superlative read.Congratulations to the author on this IHIBRP 5 Star Recommended Read!"
