A long time ago my old ward had a book club. I didn't ever go as I already had a book club that I loved. This book was one of their choices. I didn't read it but kept it on my list of books "to read" as it sounded interesting. It has stayed on that list for over 3 years. I finally decided to either read it or take it off my list. So I read it. It has literally given me nightmares for weeks...made me want to buy a gun...and have LOTS of food storage. It is a book that definitely makes y...more

This whole book was really really slow to me, but I was dissapointed because Terri Blackstock simply isn't like that! It maybe was the subject matter that somewhat uninterested me. The books kind of remind me of the end of times. All the power goes out, and people are still alive, but there is no food, water, power to survive.......Of course there is a mystery involved. I do think I will continue out the series just to see what happens!

This book is based on an electronic pulse taking out all computer devices. Whether this could actaully take place or not makes for an interesting read. How people react to such an interuption of our daily lives. Without cars, power, phones, ways to communicate, stores closing meaning no food, drink. A drastic lifestyle change brings out the good and bad of people and how some rely soley on God's provisions. This is a good read

This is, I think, my favorite book by this author so far. An interesting "what if" scenario, and heart-pounding suspense near the end of the book. Edifying from a Christian standpoint, too, as people re-learn what it means to live according to Jesus' sermon on the mount.

Really, really enjoyed this book. It looks like it will be a great series! A unique idea for a plot which leads to some surprises and some very creative ideas. Great characters. Would love to see a movie made from this.

A good book to help you understand all the comforts we have. Its a book about Americans trying to live and cope in a world that just lost all its electrical powers. There are quite a few good lessons to find inside.

I really couldn't get interested in this book. I suppose I will try again at a later time to see if my opinions on it change. I was kind of disappointed really because I usually like all of Terri Blackstocks books.

This is amazing. You will be on your feet the whole way, and you won't be able to put this book down. It is amazing. You really think about what might happen to you if that really happened.

This book makes you think, "what would you do?" It really makes you wonder how prepared we are as a country and as individuals to face a crisis!! I am hoping this will turn into a series.

This book is about a family and their town as they go through a time when all power on the earth is knocked out. It is a really good series...the fourth one is the best.

I liked this one pretty well. I love Terry Blackstock, but this book was a departure from her usual mystery/suspense. Still apretty good read.

I have only read the first 2 books in this series but they were different types of books and you really want to see what is going to happen.

This is the first book of 4. I LOVED it! It's one of those that while you're enjoying the story you look at how you might relate to it too.

This was a powerful book. An interesting look at what we'd be like without any power. Ugly.... So far my favorite of the series.

page turner, apocalyptic, christian novel; if you can get past the evangelical nature of the story, it was pretty interesting.
