Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It all started when an electrical storm over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash, causing all electronic devices to cease to function-computers, telephones, engines, radio, television, even firearms — and plunged the world into a darkness humanity was unprepared to face. But even as some people band together to help one another, others are building armies for conquest.
Review:
"Stirling shows that while our technology influences the means by which we live, it is the myths we believe in that determine how we live. The novel's dual themes — myth and technology — should appeal to both fantasy and hard SF readers as well as to techno-thriller fans." Publishers Weekly
Review:
"[A] stunning speculative vision of a near-future bereft of modern conveniences." Library Journal
Review:
"[An] intriguing what-if about modern humans denied their treasured conveniences." Booklist
Synopsis:
An electrical storm over the island of Nantucket causes all electrical devices in the United States to cease function. But even as some people band together to help one another, others are building armies for conquest.

Very good story with a thorough plot that isnt confusing with a good flow from chapter to chapter. The rest of the series so far is amazing too. I personally recommend it to anyone of any age
