Very well written story that shows the evolution of this writer compared to some of his earlier works.  Not a criticism, just a comment about how well Mr. Maloney manages to convey the pain and loneliness of the main character here.  He has a plan, or more correctly his family has a blueprint, to survive the Coronal Mass Ejection that knocks out all things electronic.  Of course, no one knows when our if this event will happen, so the family still has to go about their lives.  As the title suggests, our hero is left to fend for himself alone and worry constantly for his wife and daughters.  Did their plane reach Kansas City before the lights went out?  Are they still alive?I have read other stories dealing with this type of survival scenario but seldom has an author done this good of a job keeping my interest with minimal interaction with the rest of the world.  No spoilers here, I mean, the title of the book is ALONE.  Very good first book in this series and I can't wait for Book Two.
