The Alaskan Chronicles

Honestly, this book kind of terrified me. This book is set at just an uncomfortable distance. Pair that with the fact that the Event could possibly happen at any time, and this story gets scarier than any horror story. I had a tense feeling in my chest throughout most of this book, thinking that there was some huge conflict just waiting around every corner.

Bailey Randolph, Reading Rabbit Hole

A modern day Swiss Family Robinson. The author imagines a scenario where solar flares wipe out all the electronics in our world. The story progresses through the first seasons spent in the wilderness, the struggles, stumbles, and triumphs. The ending! Wow! Just when you thought you could see how it was going to wrap up, the author throws a huge wrench into the mix. I was very surprised! I can’t wait for the next instalment!

Elderly Jim Richards takes us back to his teen years in Anchorage where sun flares devastate America and beyond. A quick read, especially from Part 2, young readers will revel in the boy scout hero’s encounters in wild Alaska.

Julia Anderson, YA Waterstones

Eight and a half out of ten. It’s a really good teen book because it’s realistic about what could happen, and it’s a story with a moral. But it’s a really good book from an adult perspective – written very well with a really believable story that is relatable.

Lucy Turner

The Alaskan Chronicles is an epic tale on one family’s struggle to survive in an unforgiving and unremitting landscape. Breathtaking. Vivid descriptions of the breakdown of society and all the flaws in human nature that brings out. When stripped of our constructs of civilisation, we must get back to nature, or die, and on her terms. A wonderful triumph of a story, epic and detailed, harsh and yet human, a tour-de-force of creative writing.
