"After: The Shock" is the first book of Scott Nicholson's "After" series.  Actually, if you include the prequel, "After: First Light", it's the second book.  It's not absolutely necessary to read the prequel...but I recommend that you do so you can get some great background information on the main characters of the series as well as to what led up to the world being as they now know it."After: The Shock" is a post-apocalyptic story about a group of people who struggle to survive a massive solar disruption and a large part of the population who are zombie-like (known as Zapheads in Scott's "After" world).  Can you survive a world without electricity, communications, and technology?  The "After" world is not like the world as we know it today.  This is what the characters in "After: The Shock" have to face.  (Better them than me!!  :-)I truly enjoy reading Scott Nicholson's work.  He has a style that truly grabs ahold of you and draw you right into the story.  Once you start reading, you won't want to put it down!  He has a style that brings his characters and settings to life.If you want to experience a post-apocalyptic world and truly care for the characters/people in it, I highly recommend the "After" series by Scott Nicholson!
