I'll Be Attending the Northeast ComicCon and Collectibles Extravaganza

I'll be attending the Northeast ComicCon and Collectibles Extravaganza (NECC) 29 November to 1 December at the Boxboro Regency in Boxboro, Massachusetts. This is one of my favorite book signing events. As with every year, there will be plenty of vendors selling all the cool stuff we gave up as kids (and now regret it); plenty of writers and artists, and several celebrity guests including Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, Ming Chen from Comic Book Men, and Kelli Maroney from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This promises to be a fun event.

What would you do to survive the apocalypse?

What begins as a beautiful summer day ends in disaster when a massive solar flare strikes the Earth, burning out all electronic devices around the planet and plunging the world into darkness.

Kirstie and her high school friends are stranded at an amusement park in southern New Hampshire with no way to return to their homes outside of Concord. Her mother, Danielle, is trapped in Boston when the disaster strikes; rather than seeking shelter in the city, she begins the long and dangerous journey home to find her daughter. Kirstie’s uncle, Shawn, the shift supervisor at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, must find a way to prevent the reactor from melting down before millions die of radiation poisoning.

As society collapses, each family member must find a way to stay alive, even if it means doing things they never imagined themselves capable of.

Can they survive the first five days of the apocalypse? Will they ever see each other again?


"In typical Baker fashion, the action hits hard and fast in this very plausible apocalyptic disaster scenario. Following the actions of three people as they watch society collapse all around them, the pace never lets up. A teenager has to grow up fast. A mother in the city has to find a way out. And the supervisor at a nuclear power plant must find a way to prevent an even bigger disaster. Time is short. When there is no police or military to step in and help keep order, society breaks down quickly." -- David Simpson, author of The Solar Tsunami and Zombie Road series
