The author has turned his novel a frightening scenario.
A scenario that would be quite possible and could have serious consequences.
To Plot:
John Matherson is a former Colonel of the US armed forces, the result
his now deceased wife, his job in the army on the nail
has hung on and Montreat Christian College in Black Mountain, North Caroline
Lina, a professor of history.
He lives with his two daughters there.
On the first day in history a nuclear bomb is detonated in the atmosphere
and an electromagnetic pulse paralyzes the previous lives of the residents.
Everything changes from one second to another.
Forstchen paints a bleak picture of the disaster. To the reader, the gestures
bringing even closer chehnisse, he lets the bomb on his birthday
Diabetes diseased daughter, in the truest sense of the word, go up. Black
Mountain and the rest of the United States fall into darkness.
The author presents a gloomy America represents for the bomb. The power cuts out,
People stranded on the highway, there is an accident, limits the residents
from the "refugees" from the struggle and equipment, food and medicine
begins.
Aggression is spreading and many people are almost back to
Animals, just so they can survive.
Forstchen uses no data, it starts on day one and draws this way
How he represents the progress of the times, by. He is not to be
shame to describe how ill after a week people salmonella
and even die, because simply no longer have the necessary tools are available,
to save the people, or to help them.
The citizens of Black Mountain begin to organize the new everyday life
Sieren and Matherson is selected with in the Security Committee.
The students of the college are involved in the new situation. From
Caretaker, an ex-Marine, they are used in the skills of the military
reported because each is clear that it Groener sometime also clashes with
may ßeren groups of Plünderen.
Of course, here come back a little bit the sound of patriotic
Americans through, but it's not annoying, but suits the tenor of
Book.
Forstchen is to be started not too bad heartbreaking events
to portray. More than once I had a very nice lump in my throat because
the events and the fates of people just not an untouched
leave. This is also one of the strengths of the book. No heroes, or pink
red, but fates take, even if it is fiction. Tough decision
decisions and even tougher effects of Endscheidungen. Is sad and rousing
shown what lies at the end of our civilization known and could be done.
Another really to be mentioned as a very positive fact is the Summary
and explanation of the effects of an EMP in the afterword by US Navy Captain Wil-
Liam Sanders. Direct, clear and eye-opening.
Conclusion: an eye-opening novel, which includes everything a good story needs ---- 5 stars
