<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The Day -The day was like any other day-until it became "The Day." The United States is attacked with an Electro-Magnetic Pulse weapon. Nearly every system that depends on computers and electronics cease to work. The electrical grid and communications go down. Cars don't work. Follow Jill, Jack and John as they struggle to make it home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> </p> <p>Authors note: </p> <p>This is a complete revision of the original book. It has been revised to reflect a 1st person point of view for each chapter's main character. Take note of which character leads the chapter title. This will help make the flow of thoughts smooth.</p> <p>This is not a book on religion or religious ideology, however, two of the main characters are Christian. They pray often and acknowledge God's influence upon the events taking place. If you find praying, acknowledging God, or seeing Jesus' name used in a positive context offensive, then I suggest you do not read this book. These are strong characters, who I think many can relate to. I hope you enjoy the book.</p> <p>The Day</p> <p>The day was like any other day--until it became "The Day." At 4:05 p.m. the United States was attacked with an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon. A 20 mega-ton nuclear warhead was detonated high in the atmosphere above Kansas, blanketing most of the contiguous United States and parts of Canada and Mexico with an electro-magnetic pulse that damaged nearly all microprocessors and electronic controls beyond repair. Nearly every system that depends on computers and electronics has ceased to work. The electrical grid goes down. The water system goes down. The sewer system goes down. The phone system goes down. The cellular system goes down. Cars stop. Tractors stop. Radio and TV stations go dark. The internet is no more. No more ambulance services. No more emergency services. No more government services. No more 911. In the twinkle of an eye America is sent back deep into the 19th century.</p> <p>Jill Barnes, a single mom, finds herself stranded on the side of Interstate 459 near Birmingham, Alabama. Jack Chance, a bank vice-president, is stranded on Interstate 85 near Montgomery, Alabama. John Carter, a contractor, finds himself stranded near Leeds, Alabama. Each must travel home to Clarke County in rural southwest Alabama. Follow them as they each make their decisions and journey home while the fabric of American society is torn asunder and criminals run amok. The story is exciting and enlightening, compelling and fast moving, infuriating and redemptive, heart-rending and heart-warming. Keep some tissue close to hand, just in case . . . .</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Wow!!! My heart is racing. What a great story. I want more!" L. Lanier "Following a devastating EMP event, young Will Carter, better prepared than most, is determined to find his special friend Lizzy and relocate her to the safety of his community. But can she survive long enough to be found? Obstacles and dangers abound for both, and a new villain emerges in this second book of Jeff Motes' Once Upon An Apocalypse series. ------Cathy Marler, The Radio Librarian<br>
