Well-written. Messes with you. It’s a book you can’t undo reading. Please read this book, and share with people in your community. Folks in this believable scenario were starving in less than two months. The suffering goes on for a year.…

Interesting premise....completely trite and unlikeable characters! (You've been warned)

This review is full of “spoiler” alerts. If you still insist on reading it, stop here. If you don’t read it, you will not have missed anything worth reading. A thoroughly disgusting, dreadful book. Not until almost the last page do we…

Dark, flag waving, sappy and dark. I know I said dark twice but this book is, well dark. A clue, on the front cover there is a forward by Newt Gingrich.

Essentially, a very good read. I took a class on EMP and the damages it would cause at the United States Army Command and General Staff College. EMP power, as in any other nuclear device, depends on elevation, distance and power. A…

Thirst. That kills within a week. The stupid and unlucky die first. Bicycle travel if started immediately offer the best opportunity to seek a water source. Or, local knowledge, such as the spring-fed isolated pond that I can walk…

Great job conveying how the country would turn out if we lost everything that feeds off of electricity. And it didn't even need zombies to do it! It also makes you realize how unprepared we are and I've already started storing canned…

Very frightening & enlightening.

I loved this compelling survival tale. It will leave you terrified of an EMP attack.

This is a well--written book; it outlines the major threat to the U. S. that is real and imminent; HEMP is the basis of all that little bad-hair fatboy in North Korea is working towards. One nitpicking note: anyone with a military…

Probably the most realistic post - apocalypse/end times book I have read. It's not giving much away to mention that the disaster is caused by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by high - altitude nuclear blasts. Casualties are limited…

Riveting and hard-to-put-down, it is also disturbing and thought-provoking, a reminder of how technology, while appearing to be our friend, is creating a vulnerable world full of vulnerable people.

Just finishing this up, and it is an amazing book, focused solely on the lives of those who lived or were caught in Black Mountain at the time of the EMP attack. It is scary to think just how fragile our society really is. Everything so…

I remember being asked to chaperone my sister to a Widespread Panic concert in the mid 90's. As JB struck the first chord of Tall Boy I was forced to call a code red and set up a perimeter around my catatonic protege'. I panicked and…

Wow, scary! I was disappointed by the typos. Also, someone felt it necessary to add their comments on many of the pages of the volume I had. I wonder why that person presumed I, and other readers, would be interested in his/her inane…

Reading the forward of this book was an eye opener for me. This topic of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) has been talked about in many circles of our government. This book brings the story to life as it takes place in a regular small town with…

An end of civilization scenario with real world consequences. The author takes every fear a person has and puts it all into one book. A depressing story to think about and not a happy ending story. Prepare to be shocked and scared enough…

a suspensful thriller!

Increadabley sad story... but a story that should be told. Forces one to relize just how close humanity could be to extinction.

Frightening and all-too-possible; written well without being burdened with detail. Hints of "Fail-safe" and the best of Michael Crighton...

A riveting speculative tale of what could happen in the case of an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapon attack on North America.

Everyone needs to read this book. The U.S. has been hit by EMPs (electro magnetic pulse) and life as we know it no longer exists -- no electricity, no internet, phones, radio. Only very old vehicles will run. Scary thoughts as society…

One of the best books I have ever read. I haven't been complacent about being prepared, but this book expanded my understanding of what we might be preparing for. I recommended that every single person in America read this book. 5…

I will say this about this book, you don't really want to put it down because of the subject matter. It's entirely possible that we could experience this kind of attack, and the results would be pretty devastating. With that said, I have…
