Publisher Description
In this Y2K-inspired survival thriller from New York Times bestselling author Terri Blackstock, a global outage exposes both the darkness of human desperation and the unexpected light of faith, hope, and community.
". . . [Last Light] is in league with first-rate adventure fiction and bodes well for the series to come." --Publishers Weekly
Birmingham, Alabama, has lost all power. Its streets are jammed with cars that won't start and its airport is engulfed in flames from burning planes. All communications--cell phones, computers, even radios--are silent. Every home and business is dark. Is it a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or something far worse?
In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to a time before electricity, the Branning family faces a choice. Will they hoard their possessions in order to survive--or trust God to provide as they share their resources with those around them? Yesterday's world is gone. Family and community are all that remain. And the outage is revealing the worst in some.
Desperation can be dangerous--especially when a killer lives among them.
Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and rich with emotional and spiritual tension, Last Light launches the bestselling Restoration Series with a story that feels both urgent and deeply human.
Continue the journey with the Restoration Series: Night Light, True Light, and Dawn's Light. Includes a note from the author and discussion questions for book clubs.

good story etc
i like this author & the book but still me of the voices on the audio or so annoying it's almost intolerable
i'm reading the sequel now which i paid $20 for...i have almost stopped reading it strictly d/t the sound of the readers voice when "acting" the characters. the little girl sara (in the sequel...) seriously can't hardly deal with it. i don't mind some voice changes etc but it's over the top, i'd prefer just a straight read over this.
not yeah...love the authors style & imagination & stories...& the Christian message does my heart good
Great book, so-so narration
I loved this story. I would give 5 stars for the book alone. But the narrator took away from the experience for me. I’m sure this is something that doesn’t bother many people the way it bothers me, but she pronounces silent H’s, placing them before the W they follow. Such as “h-where” and “h-wheat.” Also, the inflection she uses when speaking the voice of younger female characters (older child to young adult) tends to sound more like an elderly woman than a young woman. Kind of warbley. And when she speaks for middle aged women it’s even worse. Again, these are probably things that wouldn’t bother most people. But it kind of drove me crazy the whole time. If it helps, the weird inflection with female voices does get a bit better as she makes her way through the series.
