The Story - The kind of ecological calamity in this novel is all too possible. This is the second book in a trilogy - but readers do not have to have read the first book, Kokopu Dreams to understand Shadow Waters. A devastating epidemic due to the revenge of the Macroero - creatures traditionally believed to have inhabited the hills and forests before the first waka arrived in New Zealand , has killed most of the population. Shadow Waters is a continuation of the survivors' struggle against the demons and fearful creatures that have taken over the landscape. Where other New Zealand futuristic novels have focused on the big-brother syndrome - Albert Wendt's Black Rainbow, Stephanie Johnson's The Whistler in Shadow Waters the opposite happens. Everything is broken down to elements, myths, and a kind of Wild West. Like The Lord of the Rings the quest aspect of Shadow Waters is strong, sharing an episodic structure, a great many fights and an assortment of dead bodies.
Chris Baker (Samoan/Celtic) a former environmental campaigner is still passionate in his beliefs. Baker's energy these days goes into writing rather than more active forms of campaigning. For the last 8 years he has been confined to a wheelchair because of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis and so for the last 6 years has started writing.
