{"product_id":"2940045492706","title":"Starstruck Hero","description":"\u003cp\u003eSunstrike - what happens when a massive solar storm knocks out the world's electronic technology. Starstruck Hero follows one of the minor characters from the novel Sunstrike as he deals with the sudden absence of transport, communication and electricity.\u003cbr\u003eClint lives his life as if he's the hero of every movie he's ever seen. He drives like Jason Statham in The Transporter, rides like John Wayne, and would fly like Top Gun if he ever got the chance. When he’s thrust into a major disaster, he reacts with confidence and style, leading others from danger and caring for the helpless. But despite his bravery, he can’t protect his family from the terrible repercussions when sunstrike hits and the solar storm knocks out technology right across the planet.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a relatively gentle post-apocalyptic story, free from zombies or aliens, but dealing with the end of the world as we know it.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a spin-off story from Sunstrike, a novel featuring Averie Brown as she learns to survive in a post-technology world. In suburban Auckland, she 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.\u003cbr\u003eScientific research on the effects of solar flares on earth is worryingly inconclusive. It’s agreed a big eruption on the sun’s surface would send large quantities of electro-magnetic energy streaming past the earth causing severe damage to high-voltage transmission lines, and that alone would stop the provision of electricity for months if not years. The Sunstrike stories explore what might happen next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bev Robitai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156406518000,"sku":"2940045492706","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045492706_p0.jpg?v=1763976683","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045492706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
