Table of Contents

Superflare: The Fortunate Ones is a survival fiction novel that crosses over into other genres such as contemporary western, romance, action and adventure, and rural life. Set in northeast Louisiana, in the southern United States, it’s a refreshing and realistic read with outstanding character development.

The novel is a charming and gritty story of survival, love and life after the Earth is struck by a catastrophic superflare. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) destroys the power grid, motors and electronics on a wide scale. No one knows when life will return to normal. The characters find themselves without modern conveniences in a seemingly different world than anything they had known before. They’re aware their ancestors had prospered before technology, but they lack the knowledge, skills and much of the equipment needed to do the same.

The story focuses on Colt Rayner, his family and his first cousin, Tyler Engquist, until a lovely stranger rides up on horseback. Abigale St. James, who had been passing through the area when the EMP made both her truck and cell phone inoperable, had only one good option – to unload her two horses and ride for help. It was a wise move, especially when she ends up in the safety of this family and falls in love with one of the young men competing for her attention.

Lisa Poché Calhoun doesn’t make her readers wait for events in this book. The superflare hits in the first chapter and Abby and her chosen beau become a couple and forge ahead together long before the end. Don’t assume this leads to a lackluster ending; it doesn’t! There’s another intriguing romance that has been brewing that will easily hold your attention. There’s also trouble with some less fortunate people who don’t have a prepper in their midst, as this family does. The characters have to press on while they defend themselves and their stored goods. The story is well-resolved and the ending is satisfying. It’s a thrilling read that will grab you and pull you in.

This story is great for young adults and older readers alike. It’s believable, while not being profane, and educational, although thoroughly masked as an entertaining novel. This book has broad appeal and is attracting attention from survivalists, preppers, those interested in farm and ranch life, horses, cattle, life after an EMP, and those who enjoy action adventure and survival stories, amongst others. The reviews on this book are phenomenal and the author has had many requests for a sequel.
