Horribly disappointing. Less science fiction literature and more political agenda than anything. First of all it takes more than half the book to actually get to the major solar flare that disables communications and electrical devices and so forth, but what is really annoying is the unrelenting pushing of the conservative political agenda.

I love the premise of the book and would have enjoyed a story about what would happen should this come to pass - especially in relationships between people and the breakdown of neighborhoods and the cities and so forth. There is little character development. It has such potential and there a scattered parts that address what I would be interested in, but overall just a sham to promote a political belief system. I wanted to cry with disappointment. What a waste.
