If you like apocalyptic "end of the world" type fiction, this is a good story.A group of scientists studying climate change are stranded in the Arctic when a huge solar storm hits and destroys all the modern conveniences of life on Earth. "The Great Darkness" has commenced...heat, cars, lights, power grids, everything is gone in an instant. How will the group survive the Arctic winter? And what about their families down in the USA?I took one star off because the very last chapter made me think "oh come on, really?", but that was pretty much the first time I'd had to suspend my disbelief throughout the story. I won't say more to avoid spoiling it for you.Well worth the Kindle price, it's a darkly entertaining tale, but be warned - it's dark in more ways than one.
