Summary
It's been around nine long months since the United States spiraled into chaos due to a cascading systems failure. The die-off everyone predicted has begun and after a hard winter nearly every other house sits empty with the owners dead or unaccounted for. Lately the power has flickered on and off a few times, raising hopes that power restoration is coming soon.
But how do you put the genie back in the bottle? Violence is everywhere. Disease is rampant. Hundreds of thousands are dead. Insurance can never pay for the damage and loss that has occurred. The economy will take years to restore, if it can be restored at all.
From the recesses of a fractured government comes a plan to restore order and rescue what remains of the population. The first step comes with restoring power. But what if having access to electricity came at such a price that many - like Jim Powell, his friends, and his neighbors - would rather face a future in the dark.

Great follow up
I just love this series of books. I listened to this over a month ago now so am reviewing a little blindly as it were but the story just continues on from the original book. Can't wait for the next one. Not my usual genre, but I got in to this after listening to One Second After by William R Forstchen. Would like to hear a good UK equivalent.
Narration as always is good from Kevin Pierce - really makes me feel all the characters.

A thoroughly absorbing book, as I've come to expect from this series. Perhaps not quite as good as some of the preceding books but to be fair the bar was set very high!

Never cried before.
In any book I’ve ever read or listened to, I’ve never cried before. I did in this. It’s so well written yet again and narrated perfectly, I couldn’t help myself.

This book was addictive - just one more chapter before bed I told myself, I stayed up most of the night to finish it! I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

impeccable in every aspect
couldnt put this down but that is usually the case with this author. The voice over is also a favourite of mine that always reads for this author and has the prefect voice and performance as usual. loved this book and am clambering on to the next without pause.

Great addition to the series
This is quite well written and very well narrated. I haven’t listened to this in order by accident, but it didn't really matter. there were enough hints given of the story in between that I didn't feel that I missed out.
I am so intrigued and involved in the story that have gone straight onto the next one.
there are humorous elements, i.e., a naked killing Jim, which just made me laugh
