About Kevin Partner
Left on the steps of Dulwich Hospital in the latter part of the previous century, I was raised to be prepared for the inevitable apocalypse, and the post apocalyptic age that would follow it. I learned how to wrestle bears, build a nuclear fallout shelter and how to load a shotgun one handed. We weren't allowed TV in my bunker, so I existed on a diet of Isaac Asimov and Terry Pratchett novels so those are the kinds of books I like to write. And stories about the end of the world.
Some of the above paragraph is true.
I write fast paced speculative fiction including in the Post Apocalyptic, Science Fiction and Humorous Fantasy genres.
The Long Night Post Apocalyptic series examines what would happen if medical implants were hacked and 95% of the world's population bit the dust on a single night.
The Robot Empire series is a homage to the classic Space Opera of Isaac Asimov. A generational ship is crossing interstellar space while the galaxy moves on around it. It arrives to find a collapsed civilization and a robot empire in place.
The Faerie King series is humorous fantasy in the tradition of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
I live in Hampshire, England. Find me at www.kevpartner.co.uk.

Blog postLong before I began writing post apocalyptic science fiction, I’d enjoyed watching it – films such as 2012, Deep Impact and, more recently, The Road and The Book of Eli all examined the end of the world on the big screen. Jericho was one of the first to do the same for TV and actually […]

Blog postA mailing list is, in my view, the single most valuable marketing asset an author can own.

Blog postI’ll be honest. My expectations were low going into this adaptation, not only because it’s one of my favourite book series (dry though it undoubtedly is at times), but also because I just couldn’t see how they were going to pull this off without completely rewriting it. The books range over hundreds of years, with […]

Modern technology designed to heal has been sabotaged, leaving hundreds of millions dead.
For the survivors, each day brings new horrors as the world descends into madness, all while powerful forces seek to take advantage of the turmoil. One man will stand apart in the chaos, seeking to reunite with his family as he becomes embroiled in a desperate attempt to save those few who survived The Long Night.
From #1 best-selling post-apocalyptic author Mike Kraus comes a brand new, never before seen take on the end of the world, ripped straight from the headlines.
When the leader of the largest healthcare company in the world drops dead on national television, over ninety percent of the civilized world follow in his wake. Health tracking implants called BonesWare were supposed to predict disease, prolong life and lead to a healthier, more robust society. Until they didn't. Now, for the few who remain alive, the question of their continued survival rests on the shoulders of one unlikely man.
Solly Masters is having a rough night. He lost his job, his marriage is on the rocks and his wife and son are halfway across the United States on the eve of the holiday season. After witnessing The Long Night, when nearly every living soul around him drops dead at the same moment, his fleeting troubles suddenly become unimportant and one goal coalesces in his mind: get to his family, no matter the cost.
Raw survival turns into something more when he comes across a man who claims to know what happened - and predicts that the rest of the survivors will soon follow in the footsteps of those who already died. Thrust into a pit of intrigue, corporate sabotage and greed, Solly must weigh his responsibility to his family with the knowledge that he just might be the key to preventing The Long Night from leading to the extinction of the human race.
The Long Night is a collaborative work between Kevin Partner and Mike Kraus. A unique take on the apocalypse and on the post-apocalyptic genre, The Long Night box set is the complete post-apocalyptic series in one convenient box set.
For centuries they served. In gratitude we freed them. With vengeance they betrayed us.
When she's kidnapped by the Blessed Engineers, Arla discovers she's been living a lie. She wasn't a farmer's daughter, but merely cargo transported in the carved out heart of an asteroid: the Arkship Dawn on a thousand year voyage to a new home.
And someone got there first.
One act of rebellion leads to her people's fate resting on her young shoulders. And, perhaps the future of humanity itself.
Because Dawn harbors a secret. It is the key.
Destiny awaits.
