48 Hours: A Novel
From the New York Times bestselling author of the smash hit One Second After series comes 48 Hours, a nail-biting and prescient thriller about a solar storm with the power to destroy the world's electrical infrastructure
In 48 hours, the Earth will be hit by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun, a Carrington Event that has the power to shut down and possibly destroy the world's electrical infrastructure. To try and prevent permanent damage, everything goes dark prior to the hit: global communications are shut down; hospital emergency generators are disconnected; the entire internet, media broadcasting, and cell phone systems are turned off. Will the world's population successfully defend itself in the wake of the CME, or will mass panic lead to the breakdown of society as we know it? William R. Forstchen is at his best in 48 Hours, a tale of the resilience of American citizens when faced with a crisis.BUY THE BOOK

I enjoyed reading this book. If the world's land life was going to end in 48 hours, how would you handle it. In such an event is continuity of government important? Who lives (underground in this case) and who dies?
This is an interesting tale. I did not regret reading it. While the writing wasn't that great the premise was interesting and original - solar flare due to kill all life above ground in 48 hours.
