I read it as he released it online, and got signed copy #334 in the mail yesterday. Thank you Mr. Crawford!

I got a copy from Amazon.com, last week. Awesome read. Also got a copy of "one second after" as well. Great books. Wish there was a similar book set in a more Northern climate, just to see how things might be handled differently. I'm just say'n. lol

Everybody I know (well almost) is asking to read it. Good Job Halffast.

I just got word from David..... GOOD JOB.. I am not some one who reads books. This was the 1st one I in 15yrs. Thank You for the job you did on this book.

Bought 3 signed copies to give as gifts. Since it'll be after Christmas before I see them, they'll end up being given on either "Just Because Day", or "Why The Heck Not Day".

bassic · Sep 16, 2011

OK, just got them, how was everyone's Christmas? LOL! I think I'll get another in a bit...to keep!

A big thank you to David, for writing one of my all-time favorite books, and to Melbo, for organizing the signed copies ordering...

This would make for one helluva great movie- I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that, am I?

Just ordered the Kindle version, now just gotta read it before the lights go out!

nicow777 · Dec 10, 2011

French version?

Hey,

Will there be a french version of Lights Out that will be published (like One second after for example)?

I bought the book and really enjoyed it, but as I'm french most of the people who would be interested in this book don't speak English.

I would gladly buy one or more version of this book if it was available in french!

apocalypticfiction · Jan 12, 2012

Very Entertaining!

I may be a little late to the party but I just wanted to reiterate that Lights Out was a very entertaining book. I highly recommend it!

Harbin · Feb 20, 2012

Downloaded a copy on my Nook on Wednesday, finished it Sunday evening! (one night of insomnia helped burn through 250 pages). Couldn't put it down, excellent book! I've read Patriots and One Second After, both were great too but I think this was my favorite followed by One Second After.

I would definitely go for another is a sequel came out...

Lonewriter · Mar 2, 2012

I read the original story when he first posted it on another forum. I still have the .pdf on my hard drive. It's a great story.

Good scene, and it has been here before. But what is wrong with that scene? You see the same thing in many action flicks. so.....where is the flaw?

Finster · Jan 11, 2014

Read it, loved it. It's available on audiobook also.

Bogie · Jan 11, 2014

Movie is in filming

You can purchase signed copies of Lights Out here: Lights Out by David Crawford - aka Halffast

Update 12/3/2010: Updated cover art and post by David. Looks like we may see LO in time for Christmas.

*******************************

Update 9/28/2010: I received an email from Halffast recently and he told me that he's nearing the end of the final edit for publishing. He's a little behind on his target and was beating himself up over commas and other uses of the English language. If everyone could post a quick note in support, I think we can get him to finish this task!! David should be checking in here again soon.

Lights Out by David Crawford a.k.a. Halffast came well before One Second After and describes the aftermath of life in the US after an EMP attack disables electricity and a multitude of other modern items we rely on for everyday tasks and our lives. A riveting story that has accumulated a cult following around the internet since Halffast began to release the story a few chapters at a time.

Post here for a chance at 1 of 20 signed, hard copies of Lights Out! by Halffast. Survivalmonkey will randomly select 20 names from this thread once the book is published. I've talked to David about this thread and he supports it; we will have copies of this book the moment they are released.

Notification of the selected will be via this thread as well as survivalmonkey PM; I suggest you make sure your email address is accurate and would also advise you to Subscribe to this thread with email notification for updates, ETAs on the book and movie and any other information as well as the final 20 winners.

This is open to new and old members with no restrictions other than you may only enter once. A post in this thread counts as your entry. The term 'hard copy' has been used to denote a difference from the original digital copy - I do not yet know if Lights Out! will be published as a hard cover or a paperback.

Prologue
....

It had been so easy. Eight nuclear tipped ballistic missiles that the former Soviet Union had reported as destroyed. And at only five million soon to be worthless dollars apiece, they were quite a bargain. Then, three million for a Chinese scientist to tweak them for the desired effect. Of course the scientist was smart enough to demand his payment in gold. But that was no problem; it was pocket change to the billionaire. The oilman already had the tankers to deliver the payload. He had just modified them so that each one had a launch tube that would be very difficult to find, even if the idiots who imported his oil bothered to look.

The smile on the old man’s face grew bigger as the second hand swept around the dial. How long, he wondered, until all of the westerners turned on each other once it was Lights Out?

I Bought this a while back, excellent book, thanks

kellory · Jul 8, 2014

Yeah, physics can be a b1tch sometimes. Primarily, every move the enemy made with vehicles, was pre-_scripted by those tire tracks. You see that in every action flick. Watch the scene again, and they follow them like they were on rails. That's because they practiced them much slower, and keep building speed to make it more exciting. Those tracks are from all the practice runs.

Pineknot · Jun 6, 2015

Just finished, great book.

Pineknot · Jun 6, 2015

So when's the next part of the saga gonna be released?

Interesting that Ted Koppel just wrote a book with the name Lights Out..........
Sounds like a copyright infringement......
