I really enjoyed reading William R. Forstchen’s book One Second After, so I was thrilled to receive an Advance Review Copy of his latest book. In 48 hours, a massive solar flare is coming, with another event – a Coronal Mass Ejection – following close behind that might wipe out civilization as we know it. In the face of mass extinction, who gets to choose who lives and who dies? I always learn a ton from Forstchen’s well-researched books. While I appreciated the moral dilemmas raised, the overall story fell flat for me.
