LIMITED TIME Get Book 2 of Solar Storm for only $0.99! Jay, Leah, and Kate are all tested and pushed to their limits...but will they go too far? Jay is left without a car again when his plans fall apart and he finds himself on foot, hiking through winter in Indiana to reach his daughter. Exhausted, wounded, and alone, Jay must find the will to push through and rescue his child. Kate, back in control of her own destiny, faces a taste of the reality FEMA has delivered to the major cities of America in the aftermath of the coronal mass ejection. She must pass through the fire to return home, but only if she's ready to sacrifice everything. Leah and the other students left behind become firsthand witnesses to the desperation of man and what violence that can bring. They are forced to dig deep and defend themselves, or risk becoming a footnote in a new, darker history of mankind. In a world where electricity is a thing of the past, can there be any hope for the future? After all, it's not a matter of if a CME will strike the earth, but when.
I hope that isn't a spoiler for anyone. I'm really pleased that this book was available to read straight after Book 1. Although not all the loose ends are tied up, I think that enough was resolved for me to stop here with this series. Maybe I will pick up the other books later. It is a fast-paced, story that would be interesting to my non-reading teen boy in a couple of years when he gets over not wanting to read the same things as his mother.
The second book in this series, if you loved the first book then you will love the second one. When the electric has gone and food is running low, this is a story of one families survival.
