Into the Greater Void
Book One of
The Sungazer Series

Philip Blake was killed at sea, a victim of pirates who boarded his boat as he sailed alone in the Caribbean.

But are the events surrounding his death as straightforward as they initially seem?

Chelsea, the love of his life, and his best friend Matt are left behind, almost inconsolable in their grief and heartbreak at the loss of someone so special.

They both attempt to face the horrific events in different ways, each trying to work out how to live with the death of the one person who meant the world to them.

Chelsea has come to Boston to live on Philip’s boat, the only place left where she can be near him as she disappears into her own world and tries to come to terms with the insurmountable loss she must now endure.

How could fate conspire to put two such heavenly bodies together, two people that loved each other more than life itself, then simply tear them apart like a black hole devours the very matter that makes up the universe.

She allows her mind and soul to be lost in the greater void, a place where she can be alone with her memories of Philip while she tries to find a way forward, if there even is one.

Matt attempts to build a brick wall around his emotions, ignoring what he can and dulling the pain when he can’t, but beneath the denial there are a multitude of doubts about what happened to his friend.

As he throws himself into work and whatever else will help him cope, his concerns refuse to be quiet, and the more he knows, the louder they become.

Recent events turn his meandering skepticism into outright suspicions; like a puzzle without a complete image, the pieces need to be investigated to see if and where they fit together.

The two of them not only have to face their own grief-stricken demons, but now they must start asking the questions they have tried in vain to avoid:

How did a skilled sailor such as Philip, someone who had circumnavigated Cape Horn, get himself into such a situation?

What happened in Argentina during a short skiing break that turned such a world-wise man white as a ghost?

Why do the simplest things not add up?

What really happened to Philip Blake?

This book is beautifully written and takes you inside the character’s hearts and minds!
