Probably the most realistic post - apocalypse/end times book I have read. It's not giving much away to mention that the disaster is caused by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by high - altitude nuclear blasts. Casualties are limited initially to "collateral damage" however as man's technologically based infrastructure is wiped out the long term effects are arguably more severe than a conventional nuclear war. A strike of this nature could conceivably be made by rogue nuclear powers of which several are arising today. This needs to be treated as the grave threat that it deserves.
