About S. M. Lynch

S. M. Lynch is the thriller/science-fiction alter ego of Sarah Michelle Lynch, a romance novelist.

Sarah's creative writing journey began long ago at just eight years old. A story about a spider and a little girl convinced her teacher she really had something. A love of writing led to her completing a degree in English and then to go on and work in journalism.

The UNITY series (originally The Ravage Trilogy) started life as a dream, one which stayed with Sarah for a long time. It was always an ambition to write a novel one day and a long period of maternity leave (between 2011-2012) finally allowed this to happen. What she produced was the basis of exploration for a possible future world. These novels are inspired by her own eclectic tastes and reflect real people, real human themes and a journey guaranteed to keep you guessing.

Sarah has written over forty books to date.

So it’s a shock when answers emerge from the most unexpected of places – York, England. Seraph’s great-aunt Eve Maddon, seemingly a simple dressmaker, lived a life Seraph knew nothing about.

It’s in the UK Seraph becomes aware she’s in real danger and along for the ride is Ryken Hardy, a virologist built more like a warrior than scientist.

The founder of UNITY, the one group working to return some sort of normality to the world, appears to be run by someone codenamed The Operator.

But who is The Operator?
