Reliance by Paul McMurrough
An eruption on the Sun leaves the Earth powerless, but is it a temporary inconvenience or the start of a spiral into anarchy?
Belfast Professor Martin Monroe knows the answers, but once branded a conspiracy nut, he struggles to get anyone to listen to his warnings of the impending disaster. His only friend, Simon Wilson, still coming to terms with the loss of his wife, is the only person who will listen.
Fighting against bureaucracy and her own lack of confidence, Government Communications officer Lisa Keenan struggles to get the word out. Despite the protests of her colleagues, she enlists the help of the professor.
With a wife and new-born child to think of, Prison supervisor, Derek Henderson, must weigh duty against family, and live with the consequences of an impossible decision.
Will the world’s total reliance on technology, and the electricity that powers it, lead to the irreversible disintegration of society on a global scale?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It was only in the past couple of years that I seriously considered writing. Until the age of fifteen I could barely read and so the idea of being able to write something of my own would have been shut down very quickly. In my earlier days, before I learned to manage and work around my dyslexia, my inner critic would have been more like a bully, privy to my darkest secrets, fears, and weaknesses – he would never have let me even consider putting pen to paper.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in Reliance were inspired by either people I've known personally or people I've observed through my work-life and travels. Over the years I have spent a lot of time in airports, travelling for work mostly, and people watching became a way of passing the time. Some of those nameless people have made it onto the pages of my books.
