Synopsis
vibrancy, and boldness" (Santa Fe New Mexican) that alternate history master Harry Turtledove calls " amazingly--often frighteningly--real." Now the national bestselling author of Conquistador and The Peshawar Lancers presents a vision of modern society suddenly and mercilessly thrust into its own dark age.... Michael Havel was flying his Piper Chieftain over Idaho en route to the holiday home of his passengers, a family of five, when the Change occurred. At that moment, the plane's engines inexplicably died, forcing Michael to glide into a less than perfect landing in the wilderness. And as he leads his charges to safety, he begins to realize that the engine failure was not an isolated incident.... Juniper Mackenzie was singing and playing guitar in a pub when the Change thrust the small Oregon town into darkness. Cars refused to start. Phones were silent. And when an airliner crashed, no sirens sounded and no fire trucks arrived. Now, taking refuge in her family's cabin with her daughter and a growing circle of friends, Juniper is determined to create a farming community to sustain the survivors of this crisis.... The Change happened when an electrical storm centered over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash, causing all electronic devices-- computers, telephones, engines, radios, televisions--and even firearms to cease to function, and plunged the world into a darkness humanity was unprepared to face. But even as people band together to help one another, others are building armies for conquest.... S. M. Stirling is the author of numerous novels, both on his own and in collaboration. A former lawyer and an amateur historian, he lives in the Southwest with his wife, Jan. This is a parallel series to the Island in the Sea of Time series.
