"Dies the Fire" by S.M. Stirling

What do a Wicca witch and an former military special forces solider have in common? Nothing at all until the lights go out for good. Through circumstances not of their choosing they end up as two powerful clan leaders in the northwestern US.

"Dies The Fire" is the opening novel of the change by Stirling. The premise is that all modern technologies stop working after a brilliant flash of light one night and it is the story of man's attempt to adapt to life with no modern conveniences. We get a good look at what may happen should such an event occur and more than anything it is a story of the human spirit. I recommend the book if this the kind of story that would interest you.
