Utter darkness/ by Payne, T.L.author.;

"A massive solar superstorm. A nationwide blackout. A family torn apart. The most powerful solar superstorm ever to hit Earth plunged the world into chaos, leaving society crumbling in its wake. For Colorado-based NOAA scientist Carson Carlisle, the storm is his worst nightmare come true-a disaster he saw coming too late to stop. As communication networks collapse and the power grid fails, Carson's mission shifts from preventing catastrophe to protecting those he loves. In Washington, D.C., his sister Willow is thrust into a city spiraling into lawlessness. Every street corner hides a new threat as she fights to survive while desperately trying to reunite with her boyfriend, Knox-a man who has the skills to endure but may not have the time to escape. Meanwhile, their mother, Bee, a fiercely independent retiree in Arkansas, refuses to abandon her home even as her small community fractures under the weight of fear and desperation. Armed with grit, determination, and an unyielding spirit, she emerges as an unexpected leader as her neighbors confront mounting threats and impossible choices.As the nation descends into anarchy, Carson, Willow, Knox, and Bee are forced to confront their darkest fears, their deepest weaknesses, and their unbreakable connections to one another. But survival comes at a cost--and they'll have to decide how much of themselves they're willing to sacrifice to save the people they love. Utter Darkness, book one in the Black Sky Event series, is a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the relentless fight for hope in a world gone dark." -- from Amazon.

What none of them know is that the radioactive blast that plunged their lives into darkness was only the first one."--Page 4 of cover.

Utter despair / by Payne, T.L.author.;

"Nearly a week after a catastrophic solar storm crippled the grid, Carson and his family are battered, exhausted-and still far from anything resembling safety. Carson presses forward, eyes fixed on Dallas, where he knows greater threats await. The journey ahead is dangerous, but what waits at the end may be even worse. Meanwhile, Willow believes she's finally found a place to rest-but her relief is short-lived as she's pulled into a nightmare darker than anything she's faced before. In Dallas, Arthur's battle for survival reaches a critical tipping point, forcing him to make impossible choices. And in Arkansas, Bee is no longer standing her ground-she's on the run, with danger closing in from every direction. As the country fractures and chaos reigns, the Carlise family will be pushed to their limits. And not all of them will make it through what comes next. Utter Despair is the third book in the fast-paced, high-octane, post-apocalyptic Black Sky Event series." -- from Amazon.

How to die in space : a journey through dangerous astrophysical phenomena / by Sutter, Paul M.,1982-author.(CARDINAL)783592;

"So you've fallen in love with space and now you want to see it for yourself, right? You want to witness the birth of a star, or visit the black hole at the center of our galaxy? You want to know if there are aliens out there, or how to travel though a wormhole? You want the wonders of the universe revealed before your very eyes? Well stop, because all that will probably kill you. From mundane comets in our solar backyard to exotic remnants of the Big Bang, from dying stars to young galaxies, the universe may be beautiful, but it's treacherous. Using metaphors and easy-to-understand language, How to Die in Space breathes fresh life into astrophysics, unveiling how particles and forces and fields interplay to create the drama in the heavens above us."--Provided by publisher.The vacuum -- Asteroids and comets -- Solar flares and coronal mass ejections -- Cosmic rays -- Stellar nurseries -- Stellar-mass black holes -- Planetary nebulae -- White dwarves and novae -- Supernovae -- Neutron stars and magnetars --Supermassive black holes -- Quasars and blazars -- Cosmic strings and miscellaneous spacetime defects -- Dark matter -- Hostile aliens -- Wormholes -- A final warning.Includes bibliographical references and index.

48 hours / by Forstchen, William R.,author.(CARDINAL)436134;

"The countdown is on. In less than forty eight hours, Earth will be hit by a major solar storm. At first, it is thought to be a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that will severely damage our world's electronic infrastructure. A crisis to be certain, but one that can be survived--until something far more frightening is discovered by NASA's solar observation teams. It is not just a CME. The sun is about to let loose with a solar explosion of such intensity it will result in an ELE, an "Extinction Level Event." A final hour might be approaching that could see the near extinction of all life on earth. How will humanity reaction to such news? How would you react?" --
