Synopsis

A year has passed since the Mayhem Wave reshaped the world, erasing most of its population and replacing civilization with random artifacts of advanced technology and magic.

Harrison Cody now works as a special agent for the government of New Chicago, taking advantage of his newfound ability to open any lock. When an expedition is launched to determine the origin of the Mayhem Wave, Harrison joins them.

In their travels, they learn of other nations that have arisen in the ashes of the old world, not all of them friendly. They find the ruins of a once-great city and the possible source of the wave, the work of a man acting alone, with uncertain motives.

The truth of their quest lies in an enemy of unfathomable power, whose plans for the Earth and its people are not yet complete. Harrison may have the answer to preventing the carnage to come, but the solution will come with a sacrifice too great for him to withstand.

About Edward Aubry

Edward Aubry is a graduate of Wesleyan University, with a degree in music composition. Improbably, this preceded a career as a teacher of high school mathematics and creative writing.

Over the last few years, he has gradually transitioned from being a teacher who writes novels on the side to a novelist who teaches to support his family. He is also a poet, his sole published work in that form being the sixteen stanza "The History of Mathematics."

He now lives in rural Pennsylvania with his wife and three spectacular daughters, where he fills his non-teaching hours spinning tales of time-travel, wise-cracking pixies, and an assortment of other impossible things.

Goodreads review by Roberta R. (Offbeat YA) on December 12, 2017

Excerpt from my review - originally published at Offbeat YA. Pros: As in Book 1, quirky and audacious blend of post-apocalypse, technology and magic. Characters who are easy to empathise with. Cons: The blend I mentioned might not work for everyone - and it's even more audacious here than in the firs......more

Goodreads review by Phil on October 21, 2010

Static Mayhem is a post-apocalyptic novel that breaks from the genre in a fresh way. The story starts out in a world almost totally devoid of people. Some strange event on May 25th caused almost everyone in the world to disappear, buildings to crumble, and the landscape to reorder itself. Harrison C......more

Goodreads review by Geoff on July 24, 2017

This is the sequel to Prelude To Mayhem, and while some things in the world have changed, my mental block that insists that 'mayhem' is spelled 'meyham' persists. I blame the [spoiler] that broke the world. Neener. Really, though, this is a good follow-up to 'Prelude'. It expands the world without ma......more
