Publisher's note

Apocalypse prophecies and terrorist uprisings in a near-future world erupt when all of the planet's technologies abruptly stop working, triggering global looting, food riots, and insurrections; a situation that places humanity's fate in the hands of a small mountain village in the American south.

Overnight, the world's trains, planes, cars, trucks, phones, computers, power plants and electrical equipment come to a sudden screeching stop. Nor will they ever start up again. The world is in chaos, and everyone wants to know why. Some evangelicals believe the Rapture is at hand. Other fundamentalists see the Cloven Hoof of Satan in the catastrophe. UFO cultists preach the coming of intergalactic aliens. Secularists envisage a host of earthly enemies - Chinese communists, Islamic fanatics, eco-terrorists, and energy industry magnates. New Agers prophesize the dreaded Mayan apocalypse. Is it aliens from space or is it the apocalypse? Human violence or the wrath of an angry god?

Whatever the cause, the modern age has come to an end. Looting, food riots, and global insurrection are the order of the day, and the New Dark Ages are suddenly upon us.

Can this global anarchy be stopped? Can the End Time be reversed?

A small mountain village in the American South is humankind's last best hope.

Annotation

After a mysterious nuclear device detonates over the United States, the electrical grid of the nation is fried, leading to mass devastation and chaos. A history professor in North Carolina is among the first to recognize the extent of the catastrophe, and he begins the agonizing and almost unfathomably complicated process of triage, seeking to end the bedlam. While the book has some elements of a common thriller, the focus is more on documenting and detailing our dangerous reliance on technological systems which are so extensive that they actually remain hidden.
