Publisher's summary

When a massive solar flare wiped out all modern technology across the globe, the small town of Abney, Texas, was thrown into chaos. Shelby Sparks and her teenage son, Carter, have found refuge, but Shelby knows she can't simply remain hidden. Carter is a type-one diabetic in need of insulin - and Shelby will risk her life traveling to Austin to make sure he gets it.

Shelby's best friend and high school sweetheart, Max Berkman, won't even consider letting her make the perilous journey alone. Together, they manage to reach the capital - only to discover that while things are desperate in Abney, Austin has turned into an urban nightmare on the brink of anarchy.

Shelby and Max's search for medical supplies will lead them into terrifying territory, where the only thing more uncertain than finding what they need is the hope of making it out of the city alive.

Brings forth fear and faith.

I didn't think this second book could be better than the first but better it is. powerful and thought provoking.

Had a few shockers to keep you going

Good story line. The author has written the story well for you to imagine each scene in vivid detail.

Lots of action and suspense

What I liked or thought of this book:

• The writer's words painted clear pictures that helped me to visualize the scenes and the emotions of the characters. The author's writing style was concise vivid, and clear.
• The descriptions of locations and emotions were well done, easy to visualize, and to feel. I felt like I was a part of the scenes with Shelby, Max, Patrick, and Bianca on their quest to find insulin for Carter.
• I liked Shelby in the first book of this series. Now, she is a hothead, stubborn, impatient, and makes bad decisions. Her actions are sometimes irrational.
• There were many twists and turns to this plot, which kept my interest. There was lots of action and suspense. This book was not predictable.
• The pacing of the story was neither too slow nor too fast.
• There was a smooth, coherent flow to this book.
• This story had a satisfying ending and was a great starting place for the next book in the Remnant Series.
• This was a clean read and I appreciated that.
• This was a Christian apocalyptic novel. Religion was a part of the characters' daily lives. No religious lectures.
• The narrator had a pleasant voice. However, there were not many different character voices.

I am looking forward to reading more of the Remnant Series and learning how Shelby, Carter, and Max deal with the situations life deals them.

Great book

The story was great, but I found the narrator a little hard to keep awake. I’ve heard worse, but I’ve also listened to better.
