48 Hours Audiobook (Free)

From the New York Times bestselling writer of the smash hit One Second After series comes 48 Hours, a nail-biting and prescient thriller about a solar storm with the energy to destroy the world’s electrical infrastructure.

In forty-eight hours, the planet earth will be hit with a coronal mass ejection (CME) from sunlight, a ‘Carrington Event’ which has the energy to shut down and perhaps destroy the world’s electrical infrastructure. To try and prevent permanent damage, everything goes dark before the strike: global communications are shut down; hospital emergency generators are disconnected; the entire internet, mass media broadcasting, and cellular phone systems are switched off.

Will the world’s population successfully protect itself in the wake from the CME, or will mass stress lead to the breakdown of society as we realize it?

William R. Forstchen is at his best in 48 Hours, an account of the resilience of Americans when faced with a crisis.
