Publisher Description
Jay Cantrell will find his family…or die trying.
He had the perfect life as a small-town librarian: married just over a year to his second wife, an airline pilot, he also has a daughter in college studying to be an astrophysicist. He's ready to celebrate the first year of his new marriage as he adjusts to an empty nest and a new stage in life.
But the sun had other plans and sent a coronal mass ejection as an anniversary present.
Awakened before dawn one morning in mid-December by northern lights that blanket the sky—in central Illinois—Jay's world changes in the blink of an eye. Flying a planeload of passengers to Hawaii, his wife Kate experiences the CME in a whole other light and must fight to stay alive every step of the way. Leah, Jay's daughter, witnesses the impact through the eyes of a student far from home.
Jay must decide to stay and wait for news of his wife or leave before things get worse to find his daughter. The problem is, with no electricity, he doesn't know how bad it is...anywhere. Will he set out to rescue his daughter and make a harrowing journey through a post-apocalyptic wasteland only to find the power is still on, two states away?
In a world where electricity is a thing of the past, can there be any hope for the future? After all, it's not a matter of if a CME will strike the earth, but when.
Customer Reviews
Apocalypse now
It started off a bit slow in developing the characters, but picked up quickly. I don’t know if the world collapse would happen that fast. The action and willingness to survive was very evident. I liked the showdown in the dorm at the end. Very tense!
Solar storm
It took me a little time to get through the setup, but then I couldn’t put this book down. I’ve become invested in these characters, and want to read more about them. I thought the breakdown of civilization was pretty much accurately presented. Definitely no sugar coating. I would recommend this to a friend.

Good action and story telling but simplistic plot and characters
