This is an End-of-the-world story where all gun powder fails to work and all electricity disappears, making society forced to go back 500 years technologically.

I find this an interesting approach and fun story. The military character could use more military influence on his re-building of the world, but it is fun and interesting, and the professions that survive finds new and important uses. There is not much time spent on the focus of the enemy, which is good, because that makes them more ysterious when you meet them.

My only complaint is that there is a ton of Wicca information and focus on the Wicca way that society would have worked and is working. Way more than I needed to make the story beleivable. I think that if the Wicca info was peeled back to equal the other societies represented, this would lose a good 50 pages of drivle that I skipped anyway - other than that, I enjoyed this book very much and the approach to re-building society after that world goes dark.
