A New Kind of Zeal

More about the book

Set in the summer of 2030 in New Zealand, the story follows Tristan Blake, a retired peacekeeper seeking escape from his past. As he hitches a ride past Kerikeri on a hot, humid day, the rising temperatures reflect not only the climate crisis but also Tristan's internal struggle to move on from his experiences in the Middle East. The narrative explores themes of redemption and the search for peace in a changing world.
