This book published after the trilogy, is a helpful prequel and introduction to the three part "After" series. I have read the first book After The Shock and onto the second, After: The Echo. The series is a decent introduction to the world after a huge sun storm and mass coronal ejection destroys everything electrical or electronic on Earth and kills or tranforms certain survivors into what are called "zapheads" by the remaining normal folk. The storyline follows three groups of survivors in the rural south along the Blue Ridge Highway. Franklin Wheeler, a survivalist who adopts a family of three to his mountain stronghold, Cambell and his buddy Pete, and Rachel and her friends who all move towards her grandfather Franklin's retreat at Milepost 291. While you have seen it all before, the author still does a good job with characters, well developed who you root for to survive & win. not a bad read.
