Synopsis

When the lights go out, how far will you go to survive?

When an EMP devastates the nation's power supply, it doesn't take long for society to spiral out of control. There is no government to guide people. There is no power and no order. Only chaos and panic.

In the immediate aftermath of the devastation, five survivors—a self-sufficient survivalist, a university student, a plane crash survivor, a young girl, and an escaped prisoner—all face a dangerous, treacherous journey towards safety.

But as the day goes on and tensions reach breaking point, our survivors soon realize this solar event is far more dangerous than they could ever have imagined . . .

Lights Out is the first book in the Surviving the EMP post apocalyptic series chronicling five very different survivors and the way they handle disaster. If you enjoy stories of ordinary people thrown into devastating new circumstances, you'll love Lights Out.

Well, here goes. I don't review a lot of books, but I can't get this one off my mind, so I am writing it all out. This book wasn't terrible. It flowed relatively well. Easy to follow and interesting and engaging enough to do so. The author, who I presume lives in the UK, really seems to be forcing t......more

This was a fairly standard EMP type story. Everyone surprised, people separated from loved ones, violent prisoners on the streets. Society in this story deteriorated within a few hours of the event, including a shopkeeper who became immediately sadistic and violent. That did not seem to be too reali......more
