Eco Thriller

An Excess Of… is an ecological thriller, but it is set in the near future, so there is an element of science fiction involved.
She is a brilliant but underrated, mixed-race, young beauty who revels in exhibiting her opinions and her stunning looks. He is a handsome, reserved, inexperienced, rigorously indoctrinated, young victim of superstition and dogma, ridden with undeserved guilt. These two, in their twenties, are thrown into turmoil as the ship transporting them to potential improved lives sinks in a severe storm.
With four random, older strangers, they are washed onto a desert island far from civilisation. Three women, three men, all with strong views and deeply opposed ideas of right and wrong, must collaborate if they are to survive the harsh paradise they now inhabit.
In the world they have now left, environmental catastrophe combines with a vigorous new viral pandemic to reshape everyday life in ways unimagined by most. All but one of the isolated group remain ignorant of events beyond the shores of their small, fragile, domain. Differences of opinion threaten to disturb the efforts of the young woman and man to bring the others to an agreement that promises an escape from their prison.
A devastating assault, followed by two fierce tropical storms, brings disagreements to an explosive head. Who will survive the resulting turmoil, who will fail to make it? And will the unexpected hope of rescue be realised, or will fixed ideas cause inescapable breakdown?

When innocent Faith places herself in the hands of local glamour photographer, Leigh, she has no idea how dangerous life is about to become for her.
As Faith stands shivering before the gates of the notorious Longhouse, she has to ask herself why she’s contemplating taking employment with the man her father describes as the Devil’s Henchman. Everything in her past warns her that this move may be dangerous. But maybe that’s the reason she’s applied for the job.
Leigh can’t believe he’s invited the local village idiot to interview as his Girl Friday. Her ‘homeless’ style of dress hides any physical attributes she might possess and she has the reputation of a simpleton. But, on the phone, she sounded warm and intelligent, and she’ll be cheap to employ. The only real cause for concern is the way his printing assistant, the woman-hating Merv, might react to a woman working in close proximity with him.
Faith is naïve and inexperienced; Leigh, worldly and promiscuous; Merv, misogynistic and jealous. Put them together, add the spice of sex, the hypocrisy of religious mania and the violence that stems from frustrated passion, and you have a recipe for murder. But: Who will kill? Who will die? And why?

Your book looks interesting and I like the video. I think a lot of unusual circumstances can compel us to talk and cooperate with folks we otherwise would never converse with. So it looks like a good metaphor for all those psychological moments when we are challenged by the unforeseen. It also has a bit of that Adam and Eve (x 3) flavor which gives it depth. 🙂
