Publisher's summary

When the lights go out, how far will you go to survive?

When an EMP devastates the nation's power supply, it doesn't take long for society to spiral out of control. There is no government to guide people. There is no power and no order. Only chaos and panic.

In the immediate aftermath of the devastation, five survivors-a self-sufficient survivalist, a university student, a plane crash survivor, a young girl, and an escaped prisoner-all face a dangerous, treacherous journey towards safety.

But as the day goes on and tensions reach breaking point, our survivors soon realize this solar event is far more dangerous than they could ever have imagined...

Lights Out is the first book in the Surviving the EMP post apocalyptic series chronicling five very different survivors and the way they handle disaster. If you enjoy stories of ordinary people thrown into devastating new circumstances, you'll love Lights Out.

Good story for a free book

I enjoyed the story. It could have moved a bit faster at times, but it was still good.

Eh....

Not a bad story, but nothing fresh or original. A little unbelievable in some areas and a little “poly-annish” in others. It was free so I won’t knock it too much, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone rush out to grab this book.

Mediocre

This book had potential but it was difficult listening to the monotone performance. As the story progresses, every character seems to be resolving any character defect they have in less than 24 hours. The plot seems forced and far fetched for the first 24 hours of an EMP.

great story

I enjoyed hearing the people's stories come together. The narrator was this shy of sounding automated. His saving Grace was the occasional inflection. The story line however was great.

Is there a number 2

Cliff hanger ending, I hope there is another book. I would listen to see if the father and son meet up.

Good book, monotone though

Wasn’t much flux in emotions, sounded more monotone. That’s they only think I didn’t really like about it. Storyline is good so far.

It’s ok…

I know this is petty, but the story is set in England and there’s not an English accent to be found. That, coupled with the the main characters getting themselves into one bad situation after another only to have some ‘miracle’ of timing save them, makes it a ‘less than it should’ kinda story.

It was pretty good for a free book, just wish it was longer or a part 2!
