    About this ebook

    The end is just the beginning.

    When NASA scientists detect intense solar activity, the warnings go unheeded. Soon communications fail, power goes out, and the world's technological infrastructure collapses.

    But the solar radiation has also inflicted an unpredictable change--a disruption in the impulses of the human brain. Billions die. And they may be the lucky ones...

    Prequel to the After post-apocalyptic series. Includes a bonus short story by Joshua Simcox. Look for the other books in the series, After: The Shock, After: The Echo, and After: Milepost 291.

    Scott Nicholson is the international bestselling author of more than 20 thrillers, including The Home, Liquid Fear, Disintegration, and The Red Church.

      By: Scott NicholsonPublished By: Haunted Computer BooksAge Recommended: AdultReviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: 4Series After 0.5Review:"After: First Light" by Scott Nicholson a short story and a prequel to this authors 'After' series. This read left me saying what I always say after reading this authors reads....Wow! I found the read left me with some questions and I found that the read jumped a lot. Now, this could have been so because I have not read the series. But one think I do know is that if you are into 'solar flares, EMP,...'zombies' you have come to the right place. This would be definitely a read for you and since this is the prequel I am sure there will be more to come from this author.
