By: Lloyd Tackitt

Narrated by: Michael Hacker

December 2012, a massive solar storm knocks out the power grid. Three hundred million Americans are suddenly faced with a survival situation. They have no water, electricity or fuel.

poor narrator

good book but very weird accent for a narrator performing characters in Texas. a different narrator would've made the book much better

love it

other than a weird sound in the back ground this is a good story.
the characters are all over the place and that kind of makes thing a tad confusing.

Post technology world

What did you like best about this story?

It is a freaky thought of how life would go on should the world lose power/technology. This is far less dramatic that the zombie theme and far more gritty. It talks quite a bit on how to survive doomsday situations and in the preparation needed.

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy Mr. Hacker as the narrator. His tempo kept me engaged in the story and drew me through a book that was difficult to contemplate.

Great book

Got into it and couldn't stop. Great story as well as being informative. Looking forward to the next book.

Good story and guide

This book was billed as an instruction manual in the form of a story. It did a decent job of that.

The story revolved around a TX man and his family and friends. He had been preparing for a disaster for years and when Earth was hit by Solar Discharge he was prepared to act. He had prepared his family even though they did not take it as seriously as he did. He also had a friend who was prepared for such and event as well even if their plans were different.

The book pointed out that you must take actions that normally would be objectionable if you are to survive. Roman returns home using his car that he had set aside protected components for and his children and their family manage to get to their place and hunker down and wait till the worst is over before going to meet Roman and his wife.

The story is in segments describing what happens to various members of the family and how they react.

It is a good story and a good narrator. Enjoyable listen all around.

This book was provided free of charge with the expectation of an honest review.
