Reviews"In The Final Day , America is reborn after a terrible attack. The best and worst of human nature are on display as families and communities crawl outof the darkness. Forstchen's knowledge of history and the essentials of technology shine through on every page." --Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Assassin's Code "Forstchen is the prophet of a new Dark Age. The wise will listen." --Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of War "The only thing more terrifying than this masterfully crafted story is the possibility of it actually happening--and not a damn thing being done to protect us." --W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV, New York Times bestselling authors of Broken Trust, on One Second After "A fine post-apocalyptic thriller, with richly drawn characters and the kind of story that we can easily imagine happening." -- Booklist on One Year After "I was reeled in hook, line, and sinker." --David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of Tower Down , on One Second After, "William R. Forstchen is the master of real-world apocalyptic fiction, and his latest 48 Hours is a story that should be read by all--not just as a riveting piece of fiction but also as a cautionary tale of humanity at the edge. Here is a book that should be on everyone's shelf, a guidebook to the end of the world." --James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Demon Crown "When you're done with this one, you're going to ask yourself: Is this possible? Can it really happen? Here's the scary part. Not only can it happen, it already has, only this time it's going to be far, far worse. A surreal treat." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author "When the sun blasts the earth with two life-extinguishing explosions of solar rays, humanity is suddenly brought to the brink of utter annihilation. What will we do? The reader will race through this stunning, electrifying novel all the way to its final, shocking conclusion and come back begging for more. I'm definitely hoping for a sequel." --William S. Cohen, New York Times bestselling author and Former Secretary of Defense "[Forstchen's] best book to date. . . . Fans of apocalyptic thrillers such as the movie Deep Impact will be engrossed." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review
SynopsisFrom the New York Times bestselling author of the smash hit One Second After series comes 48 Hours, a nail-biting and prescient thriller about a solar storm with the power to destroy the world's electrical infrastructure In 48 hours, the Earth will be hit by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun, a "Carrington Event" that has the power to shut down and possibly destroy the world's electrical infrastructure.

Will the world's population successfully defend itself in the wake of the CME, or will mass panic lead to the breakdown of society as we know it? William R. Forstchen is at his best in 48 Hours, a tale of the resilience of American citizens when faced with a crisis., From the New York Times bestselling author of the smash hit One Second After series comes 48 Hours, a nail-biting and prescient thriller about a solar storm with the power to destroy the world's electrical infrastructure In 48 hours, the Earth will be hit by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun, a Carrington Event that has the power to shut down and possibly destroy the world's electrical infrastructure.

Like previous Forstchen novels, this is engrossing. If you liked his previous novels, you'll enjoy this one too.
This novel is similar to Forstchen's previous novels in pacing and high-level of detail. This is not meant to denigrate the book. It is still a page-turner to the end. I need to add an additional comment regarding the physical condition of the book itself. My copy may be unique, but I've discovered many pages are not fastened to the spine and fall free of the book whilst turning pages. I suspect that this manufacturing defect is not limited to just my copy of the book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Interesting read in light of today's world
The book arrived in excellent condition. The content is relevant to today's issues and much of it is referenced about a city in my state of Missouri.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
