In the first five minutes, over a million-people will die. Then-it gets worse The solar superstorm wasn't supposed to hit Earth-the odds were against it. And yet, with barely a warning, everything changed. In a remote oceanfront town, life begins to spiral downward after the storm causes a global electrical blackout. As planes begin falling from the sky, Scott Montgomery watches helplessly as pandemonium consumes the world around him. But the loss of electrical power is just the first of the problems facing the survivors in the chaos that follows. Social order crumbles as a steadily growing number of people realize that there are no longer any consequences for their actions. While the thin veneer of normalcy stubbornly shrouds the mounting collapse, Scott discovers the truth: Not just about the extent of damage to the world's infrastructure, but also the draconian plans one shadowy para-military organization has for regaining control and ensuring their own vision for the new world . . . one with deadly consequences. Catalyst is a shockingly realistic and largely fact-based tale about how society copes when the world is thrust back to a time before technology.
