I really enjoyed this book! I did not know it was Christian Science Fiction and about half-way thru the book I realized there was no curse words in the book and no extraneous sex scenes thrown in (which is a common find in most "mainstream" books). And I was pleasantly surprised to find it made the story better and didn't detract in anyway from the story-line. So even if you don't usually read "Christian" fiction, if you like sci-fi, give this one a try.
The story itself has quite a few twists and turns. It starts with a disgraced professor who was torn up by the media for making a wrong prediction regarding solar flares. And his worst fear comes true when the sun again starts to look like it will have a solar flare, which could disrupt society and electrical power IF he is right....
So the story starts from there and leads into all types of situations with the professor, his daughter, the president of the United States, a few rogue senators and 4 star generals and gang members looting & pillaging for all they are worth!
I really liked the story, and because it doesn't have a ton of swear words or sexual situations (there is romance but no graphic sex descriptions), I feel like I can loan this one out to my teenage daughter to read without worry.
Great for the adult reader and young reader alike.

This book reveals how precarious of an edge our society exists on and how quickly people can become uncivilized when they have to face the unexpected. And yet, in the midst of chaos, there really are good people in the world who seek to do good, even at their own expense.

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FALL AND REBIRTH OF CIVILIZATION AFTER A NATURAL DIASTR. WELL WRITTEN, FAST ACTION KEEPS THE PACE GOING. I READ IT AS QUICK AS I COULD.

Gets a bit preachy at the end, and I think the author's got something against the ACLU. He's mentions them negativily around 5 to 7 times. And no, they are not part of the plot...otherwise, a good hard sci-fi about the Sun and society.
