SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM NETFLIX AND ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR KATHRYN
BIGELOW ?Fantastic story a real page-turner. Impossible to put down. ? Stephen King From the
author of Cold Storage comes a riveting eerily plausible thriller told with the menace and
flair of Under the Dome or Project Hail Mary in which a worldwide cataclysm plays out in the
lives of one complicated Midwestern family. In Aurora Illinois Aubrey Wheeler is just trying
to get by after her semi-criminal ex-husband split leaving behind his unruly teenage son. Then
the lights go out?not just in Aurora but across the globe. A solar storm has knocked out power
almost everywhere. Suddenly all problems are local very local and Aubrey must assume the
mantle of fierce protector of her suburban neighborhood. Across the country lives Aubrey's
estranged brother Thom. A fantastically wealthy neurotically over-prepared Silicon Valley CEO
he plans to ride out the crisis in a gilded desert bunker he built for maximum comfort and
security. But the complicated history between the siblings is far from over and what feels
like the end of the world is just the beginning of several long-overdue reckonings?which not
everyone will survive . . . Aurora is suspenseful storytelling?both large scale and small?at
its finest.
