Steven Gentry shuttled between Honolulu and Wellington for nine years while researching Ni‘ihau: Pele’s Hawaiian Landfall, his second book. His attraction to little-known islands led him first to write a history of the Kermadecs, which lie halfway between New Zealand and Tonga, published in 2013. Originally trained as a civil engineer in New Zealand and at Berkeley, California, Gentry traveled the world as a consultant on agricultural development projects. On retirement he turned to historical writing.
