It's a pretty good story about an EMP pulse knocking out the power and how a neighborhood responds. It had a lot of good tips but at the same time it made me think even as close-knit as my neighborhood is we'd be screwed if anything big ever did happen.
I read a lot of it before it was finished then I lost the site. Thanks for posting it, I'd like to finish it. Its also a bit reminiscent of "Alas! Babylon" which takes place in the fifties.

I read the beginning on the Frugal Squirrel web site. Maybe I'll be able to read the end, now. Thanks for the link.
edited : this link send you to Frugalsquirrel pages, where there are other free ebooks. But not complete books. Does anyone know where to find the last chapters of Decline and fall of Pax Americana ?

Frenchy,
How have you been? I tried to drop you a PM, but I was told that you were over your limit.

Thanks for the link and recommendation. Just finished it. I thought it was well written. As I read, I felt it was very much in synch with scenarios I could envision (fear).

Thank you very mush for sharing that e-book. I’m not even one to enjoy novels, but this story had me hooked from the get-go. It was very well written and very entertaining. Thanks again.

I have finished the book now and I have something to say about it.
I found the scenario to be feasible and the portrayal of various human behaviors to be accurate. It's impossible to imagine the low levels that two-legged animals can achieve in their treatment of one another when the ship is sinking.
I have found that the book: "Aftermath" by Levarr Burton to be equally as disturbing as "Lights Out". Also try to find the book: "Pulling Through" by Dean Ing.
