Publisher's summary

The sun gives life. It is also capable of profound destruction.

With little warning, a solar super flare erupts from the sun. A billion tons of superheated plasma hurtles through space toward Earth….

When all lights fail, who will save you?

Thirteen-year-old Shiloh wakes with a dead body beside her, her brother missing, and no memory of what happened. As fiery northern lights blaze across the sky, she sets out into the night, determined to find him.

Haunted by the past, Undersheriff Jackson Cross vows to catch a vicious killer. But every clue he uncovers leads him further into a darkness he fears he cannot defeat.

Eli Pope has just been released from prison. Wrongly convicted of murder, the former ranger has but one goal: exact vengeance upon those who betrayed him.

Meanwhile, search-and-rescue first responder Lena Easton begins a harrowing 1,600-mile journey to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to find the children of the one person she couldn’t save.

As multiple solar storms strike Earth, transformers explode, the power grid fails, and communication networks collapse. Half the world goes dark, thrusting the planet into utter chaos.

With society crumbling around them, the survivors must fight not only for their lives, but for everything they hold dear - hope amid devastation, justice in the face of depravity, and ultimately, the perseverance of the human spirit against all odds.

The Light We Lost is a post-apocalyptic survival thriller exploring the destructive power of coronal mass ejections. This brand-new series from USA Today best-selling author Kyla Stone features flawed characters and high-octane, nerve-shredding thrills. A disaster series perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Bobby Akart, Jack Hunt, and Ryan Schow.

What I like most about Sarah's books is that they

Those that loved the movie Don't Look Up have to make time to read this book - but remember that the author was writing this book before the movie was launched, maybe even before the trailers were released!

Solar storms can very well cause the end of the world as we know it, but how beautiful is it going to be before the collapse!? I loved the locations, the descriptions, the amazing scenery and especially those northern lights that start off this series.

The characters are well rounded, easy to picture and realistic, flawed - just as we expect from Kyla by now. There are various main characters that start off the series, but they are introduced at such a great pace, it is easy to follow and connect with each individual and the whole community. Their struggles are at the forefront in Book 1, some might even understand what the solar storms will cause, how society may be destroyed, but they don't yet have time to prepare - and time is running out!

Waiting impatiently for Book 2!

You can tell it is written by a woman

The book itself was pretty good, but you can tell when a woman is writing it because she puts a lot more detail into peoples feelings. All in all not bad.

Great narrator, enthralling fast paced story

I really like all the different voices the narrator uses, helps to have different characters sound differently. I am new to this genre but I have enjoyed each of Kayla’s books, this is the third series of hers I have listened to in the month of March. I’ll be sad when I have no more Kayla Stone series to read.

enjoyed it very much

I liked how in depth the characters are. I was easily able to develope a mental image of the main characters. The story moves along and while it appeared in my suggested list, it is way more of a crime thriller than an EMP story...it's just the backdrop. I suspect the next book might focus more on that or could just stay the same based on the ending. Looking forward to number 2. Narration was excellent!

Jumping right into book 2

Suspenseful and intriguing grabbed my attention right from the jump. I could almost visualize the characters and the demeanors.
