A solar storm threatens to destroy the world's electrical infrastructure in this thriller from the NYT bestselling author of One Second After, William R. Forstchen
From the author of the smash hit, New York Times bestselling One Second After series comes a thriller in which the survival of humanity itself is at stake.
The countdown is on. In less than forty eight hours, Earth will be hit by a major solar storm. At first, it is thought to be a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that will severely damage our world's electronic infrastructure. A crisis to be certain, but one that can be survived--until something far more frightening is discovered by NASA's solar observation teams. It is not just a CME. The sun is about to let loose with a solar explosion of such intensity it will result in an ELE, an "Extinction Level Event."
A final hour might be approaching that could see the near extinction of all life on earth. How will humanity react to such news? How would you react?
