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.

Started Out Slow, But Picked up

It was a little slow at first, but once it picked up, I couldn't wait to finish.

Thought provoking

I enjoyed this scenario of how a loss of tech can impact lives. The volume modulation was a problem. Even though the text indicated emotion, the reader was too loud and whiny. More subtle emphasis would have been appreciated.

Wonderful Wake up call

Thank you so much for writing such a strong wake-up call book. I have often asked my grand children what would they do if we had no electricity. They couldn’t believe that would happen. Your book opened my eyes to the reality this could happen.
Definitely makes you draw closer to God

Lin

Great story and the narrator was excellent. Could not stop listening
Thank you so much for good clean reading and inspiration..

spellbinding story line

I wish it was narrated by multiple people as the change of voices the narrator attempted were to close to tell the characters apart

Enlightened and encouraged

Wow….So much to realize that can happen and not at all be a fantasy
… but a reality! I think this story had to come into the author’s heart and mind through The Holy Spirit. Terri Blackstone has a gift for taking you in to a story and bringing you closer to God at the same time. So thankful for her willingness to be used to bless others. Thank you Terri!

A thought provoking,Christian based novel

I was really moved by the plot of this novel.Could I live without all the luxuries of my life? I think that Terri Blackstock has introduced a book series that,for me, can help me address that question.Her characters are not super human but just ordinary people faced with a crisis of global magnitude.As far as her pushing Christian values on others,I did not see it that way.I saw her as a writer bringing Christian values and principles into her characters lives at a time when I believe that I would have also done if I were in the same situation.I believe that Terri Blackstock did a very good job and can't wait to start the rest of this series.I have listened to "The Cape Refuge series" and loved that one too.So I hope that this series is just as good.

Loved it!

This story gave me a lot to think about, we never know what could happen.

I feel better for listening to this book.

Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time and this book did that for me. I truly needed it.

What a terrifying thought!

As I listened to this story, I saw a lot of myself in there, and wonder how I would react. It was so carefully crafted to keep me on my toes, and so realistic.as I say in all your reviews, I pray that many, many thousands of people will come into His Kingdom thru your books, as they see how useless life is without Jesus. The narrator spoke beautifully, although the recorded volume was low so I had to listen through earplugs or speakers. But thank you for the book, absolutely brilliant!
