We’re all so reliant on electricity and power and people do desperate things when faced when they think they have nothing. What really shines is the way people at first come together but how the ripple effect of a tragedy start to spread and affect people in very different ways. The story of how a real world apocalypse could actually happen read plausible and frighteningly easy. It’s fast, furious and in the light of current world events, very timely indeed. On the fast paced trail of a hacker shutting off power supplies across the globe. There are so many locations in this novel as (by the flick of a lightswitch) we flick from one chapter to the next and one country to the next. This sounds so plausible that it’s quite chilling to see the timeline of how power grids are affected and hacked from one country to another.How politicians fail to grasp what is going on and how people at first start to come together but then how quickly things fall apart. Although published in Germany a few years ago, this is the first time it’s been translated in English and so readers across the English speaking world will be able to read it – well only by candlelight if the novel turns out to be true. Susan: this is a thriller which will stand out.
