What's it about? Check out the blurb:

"A New Zealand Navy frigate torpedoes a boat full of refugees fleeing a drowning country and Nasimul Rahman is one of the few survivors. First he has to reach the shore alive and then he has to avoid the trigger-happy Shore Patrol, on alert to stop climate change refugees entering the country.

Donna is new to the Patrol. When word comes through that the Navy has sunk a ship full of infiltrators and survivors might be making their way ashore, it sounds like she might get to see some action.

A tale of desperation and betrayal on a shrinking shore in the not too distant future."

This is the first standalone print edition of this novella, which was first published, titled "Landfall", by Paper Road Press in 2015 as an ebook.

I hope you'll be able to make it! Please share this invitation with your friends and contacts.
