Publisher's summary

The first installment in a thrilling series in which a global catastrophe puts a family’s survival at risk—and both reveals the darkness in human hearts and lights the way to restoration.

Birmingham, Alabama, has lost all power. Its streets are jammed with cars that won’t start, and its airport is engulfed in flames from burning planes. All communications—cell phones, computers, even radios—are silent. Every home and business is dark. Is it a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or something far worse?

In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to a time before electricity, the Branning family faces a choice. Will they hoard their possessions in order to survive—or trust God to provide as they share their resources with those around them? Yesterday’s world is gone. Family and community are all that remain. And the outage is revealing the worst in some.

Desperation can be dangerous—especially when a killer lives among them.

If it does nothing else it will get you thinking

I have listened, to "Last Light" and having been with out electricity for over three weeks after the hurricanes that hit Fla., I felt much the same way that these characters felt. And believe me after the first week my family was on each other's nerves. Just knowing the electricity would soon be back on was all that got us through.
And as I was looking for a good Christian author, it felt good to read this book and then recommend this book to others, with out saying, just ignore the few bad parts. Thanks Terry for this book.
And as for bringing Christ into the Book, It made me stop and take a good long look at my own life.
To see where I stand with God, myself. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books by this author.

Great Book

Wonderful series! Love the narrator also. He adds a lot to this. Thank you! SO MUCH

Great Story

This was a wonderful story. I was hooked from the first paragraph. It was very suspenseful and well performed by Dick Hill.

Enlightening

Absolutely love this book and can’t wait to hear the entire series. This is one of my favorite authors. The narrator did great. I don’t have much time to sit and read so to have a great narrator means a lot!!

Thought Provoking

I really enjoyed this book. I have spent much time thinking about the premise since listening to it. I keep wondering how I would cope with the sudden loss of all "conveniences". I think we all need to be reminded sometimes of the need to remember what's really important. The main character was pretty annoying, but I liked the book, anyway. I'll probably read more by this author.

Introspection Expected

This book was amazing. I found myself often thinking what would we really do if in that situation? It strengthen my determination to press toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

Keep the Listener in Mind.

While the story was good, and the narrator’s acting was fine, he needed to consider the ears of the listener. We constantly had to adjust the volume. He would go from almost a whisper to yelling and back, and it was very difficult to enjoy. I was glad to see the book end because of that.
I am sorry to have paid so much, as I won’t listen to that again.

A great read for all ages!

This book was suggested to me and I was super impressed by this story and performance! Loved it and will recommend to everyone!

A great edge of your seat thriller

We listened to this book on a trip but was we arrived we couldn’t wait to continue it in our home. Great thrilling yet heart warming tale. A deep look into the soul of humankind when we lose the comforts we take for granted.

Revelation

This is how the end of times may be. Love God now before its to late. He is your ONLY hope.
