Review: Until the lights come back on

 Book Review: Until the Lights Come Back On

Published in the newspaper Nordstjernan, Sep. 15, 2022

Renowned author and Vasa member Lilly Setterdahl has released yet another book, “Until the lights come back on." A cyber thriller- which probably is not what most of us expect from this writer. A wake-up call for us all!

This book really makes you think…. And very scary thoughts as we could easily be exposed to hackers and “cyber threats” at any given time. Just a disagreement (Or just evil – because someone can) between what we thought were friendly associates, to superpowers, and in the blink of an eye, the world, or your country, just your own little world goes dark. It’s not surprising that Lilly chose to have the catastrophe take place in Sweden, with Norway coming to the rescue and interactions by Finland and Estonia, and the superpower Russia as the “bad guys.” A story of interacting generations, support of families, and friends, along with extreme hardships for the ones affected the most. The hardship involves everything from darkness, to lack of resources, food, gas, and money. Closed factories and businesses, little to no interaction from the government, and death to follow in so many cases. We are following the family of incredibly talented offspring in the restoration of high-tech equipment, computers, and internet services. Major survivor skills and some great surprises in their day-to-day family life lift your spirits while reading. A hard book to put down. Your attention is constantly peaking.

This book was published by the Nordstjernan Förlag in New York and can be purchased through Amazon.
