What would you do to survive the
apocalypse?
What begins as a beautiful summer day ends in disaster when a massive solar
flare strikes the Earth, burning out all electronic devices around the planet
and plunging the world into darkness.
Kirstie and her high school friends are stranded at an amusement park in
southern New Hampshire with no way to return to their homes outside of Concord.
Her mother, Danielle, is trapped in Boston when the disaster strikes; rather
than seeking shelter in the city, she begins the long and dangerous journey
home to find her daughter. Kirstie’s uncle, Shawn, the shift supervisor at the
Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, must find a way to prevent the reactor from
melting down before millions die of radiation poisoning.
As society collapses, each family member must find a way to stay alive, even if
it means doing things they never imagined themselves capable of.
Can they survive the first five days of the apocalypse? Will they ever see each
other again?
"In typical Baker fashion, the action hits hard and fast in this very
plausible apocalyptic disaster scenario. Following the actions of three people
as they watch society collapse all around them, the pace never lets up. A
teenager has to grow up fast. A mother in the city has to find a way out. And
the supervisor at a nuclear power plant must find a way to prevent an even
bigger disaster. Time is short. When there is no police or military to step in
and help keep order, society breaks down quickly." -- David Simpson,
author of The Solar Tsunami and Zombie Road series
