Rate this book
They narrowly escaped the darkened Strip...Now a cult wants what's left of them.


“This book will be hard to top, …5/5 stars, highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic thrillers!” - Amazon Reviewer


Braxton and Devon witnessed the worst of humanity during their escape from the Las Vegas Strip. Reuniting mother and daughter fulfilled Braxton’s promise to Devon, but leaving them to survive on their own weighs heavily on his sense of duty.
Now thrust into a leadership role within the apartment complex, Braxton must grapple with conflicting impulses—protect the people around him or focus on saving himself—as the struggle for survival intensifies in a grid down world where neighbor turns against neighbor, and the community faces off against the ruthless cult Children of God.
Protecting Devon and Lucy remains Braxton’s top priority. But what happens if he can’t save everyone? Will the community come together and find a way to survive as one—or will it become every man for himself?

The Solar Flare series explores the complexities of life in an EMP disaster, collapse of society situation in the tradition of One Second After by William Forstchen. This story is great for fans of Jack Hunt, T.L. Payne, Harley Tate, and Kyla Stone.

A stellar follow up, the Solar Flare series gets better!

Solar Flare Complex, the excellent follow up, continues the story of Braxton, Devon et al after the rush to get back to Devon's apartment. Internecine fighting amongst the residents, along with the presence of a cult of religious lunatics severely complicate attempts to unify the residents of the complex. Police running forced labor camps further complicate everything. The writing is just as well composed as book 1, with vivid fight scenes, well described destruction and beautifully composed characters. The overall plot isn't hard to believe given human nature, making the events all the more believable. This book will be hard to top, but I have the highest hopes for book 3. 5/5 stars, highly recommended for fans of apocalyptic thrillers!

This is another thrilling jaunt into the upside-down world of basic survival Braxton and Devon find themselves thrust into with very few resources or ways to protect themselves and their friends from the dangerous, unhinged humans surrounding them.
As the situation gets more desperate, Braxton steps in to help these desperate people confined to the apartment complex where Devon lives. Watch in amazement as the story evolves and more dire situations develop leading to more drastic actions. Never a dull moment in this story. Don't Miss One Minute. Great Read!!!!!

This is a good one!

I have read just about every emp/teotwawki book on Kindle. I hadn't read this one, very glad I did. It is a good, old-fashioned adventure story with emp as the backdrop. I highly recommend it.

Cool

This installment to the story is even more scary than the first. As people begin to understand the seriousness of the situation they begin forming tribes. Each one a dancer I

Good read

Characters are interesting. Different ideas on survival. Quick read, but the end of the story was predictable. Once the ambush happened. You knew who set it up.
