Book Overview
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.

Rated 5 starsThis book and series made me think
Never thought too much about being "prepped" for anything. Start with the first book One Second After. I am glad I read this series because it was thought provoking and kept me very interested.

Rated 3 starsSentimentality meets mediocre writing
The premise of this book - a world-ending event sets citizens against leaders when a species-wide triage must be made - has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, Mr Forstchen's filled this book with one-dimensional characters and moral lessons as subtle and nuanced as a sledgehammer. He set out to write a great novel and ended up writing a passable fable. Mr. Forstchen also seems to have forgotten to hire a proofreader. Lines...
