Summary

In 2003, the largest recorded solar flare collided with Earth. The sensors measuring the solar storm were destroyed at an X28 rating, but it was determined later to be an X45 class flare. A satellite monitoring solar activity picks up something far surpassing that classification and on a collision course.

A solar storm, so strong that X classifications no longer apply, hits the CERN large hadron collider at the moment of particle collision, sending a quantum wave around the world. Souls are ripped from the over seven billion people that are in its path, many immediately succumbing. Those remaining either feel nothing or are tormented by endless agony. Only a few escape its path.

Sam and his teenage daughter Erin return to the surface to find a very different world from the one they left. Stranded, they must adapt quickly or become one of the creatures that now roam the earth.

In the Middle East, a small team of soldiers may be the only ones left in a harsh environment overrun by creatures. With very few options and far from any refuge, they set out on a quest for help. Will the reapers hunt them down before they make it to the coast?

Commander Lawrence resurfaces after a successful deep dive test of the Navy’s new toy, only to find a transformed world. The floating derelicts of his escort vessels don’t begin to show the horrors of what he’ll find ashore.

Another great book from John!

Great listen! Some great characters and brilliant narration! The only down side is the way the last quarter was rushed! it seems obvious this was the first in what could have been a great series of books! I think when John O’brien has a bit of time to spare he needs to re-write the end and get on with the rest of the series!

Meeh..

Great concept and I liked the first parts, but the ending was a letdown. As if the author had thought this to be a series, but then changed his mind and had to finish it off quickly.

good story could have been more

I like the concept of this book it was a zombie story from a different angle but it felt so short I would like to have had more character development and a more indepthly develop story I felt it could have been a good series maybe two or three books but I'm glad I read it
