Massive solar storms, capable of disrupting civilization on this planet, are impossible to predict more than three days in advance. NASA, the National Science Foundation, and several other U.S. Government agencies have initiated a $100-million-dollar-per-year program to predict solar storms. But what if a secret historical record of solar storms existed that used a simple formula to predict the most massive and disruptive incidents, and what if powerful men who would stop at nothing to secure it sought that record?
Phil Sheridan is tired of his job as research assistant in a New York firm that specializes in computer programs for the classification of archaeological artifacts. When a beautiful young Turkish woman he meets is kidnapped, the only clue is an ancient clay tablet missing from her apartment. Phil flies to Turkey in search of the young woman and eventually learns that the stolen tablet is one of four legendary tablets. Each tablet is inscribed in a different, unknown language, and all four are needed in order to decipher the ancient inscription. Centuries ago, they became known as the Four Tablets of the Apocalypse.
In the year 2010, the tablets begin to surface, as if compelled by a higher will. Once their existence is known, a trail of murder and mayhem follows the tablets. Phil Sheridan must pit his will and his knowledge of astronomy and archaeology against the forces of evil that seek to overthrow the world order, starting in the Middle East.
It begins on the sun. Powerful magnetic fields create giant arcs of gas that soar hundreds of thousands of miles above the solar surface. Suddenly, one of the largest of them snaps. A billion tons of solar gas spews outward, racing across space toward earth. Three days later, the ball of solar energy smashes into earth.
Orbiting satellites feel the blow first as the solar particles destroy solar panels and sensitive electronics. As the satellites fail, global communication falls into silence. The particles continue downward, forming a vast sheet of current that overloads power grids. Millions of people are plunged into darkness.
A particularly severe storm slammed into earth on March 13, 1989, causing a system-wide power failure in Quebec. Just 90 seconds after the onset of the storm, six million people were left without power.
In 1972, the entire power system of Sweden was knocked out. Radio communications were blacked out around the world. Power lines experienced surges in voltage and transformers exploded. Circuit breakers were tripped, and the electrical filters in long-distance phone lines were vaporized. Our satellite defense system was paralyzed and NORAD went belly up for three days. The military was near hysteria.
But these were a minor storms by historical standards. The last mega-flare was in 1859. It was so strong that electrical current was induced in telegraph lines and messages could be sent without using batteries. The aurora borealis flared so brightly that it could be seen in Hawaii. If that storm occurred today, it would be a worldwide disaster of Biblical proportions.

What a remarkable and beautifully written novel! In its depiction of a world hit by a solar flare, FLARE is so convincing that it just might make you stockpile emergency supplies during the increasing solar flare activity this year and next year. It also--thank goodness--provides great entertainment with its compassion, its wisdom, and the elegance of its story-telling. The adventure story that underlies the solar flare activity is gripping. This is a real page-turner in the classical style of the great thrillers. I look forward to more novels by this same author.Product details

Flare edition by Lawrence Brown Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I found out about this through a friend on Facebook and was led to a website where I read the prologue and first three chapters of the book. I was hooked. Flare is an awesome combination of adventure, history and science. The story's many layers are expertly woven into a tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
I just finished reading the book...10 days later! I couldn't put it down. It was an amazing adventure; even better than the other Brown (Dan) with the DaVinci Code. I was constantly fascinated by the unpredictable situations that evolved and the details of the Middle Eastern culture. The author is well versed in that culture; the science is superb and calls for some creative thinking for the final scenario ... fascinating! Although, I did wonder how the plane could fly under the flare conditions?
It kept my attention right up to the end and brought it all together in the concluding segments.
Thanks for a great read!!
I found myself staying up late to find out what happens next! This is an excellent first novel, and I look greatly forward to additional works. I have recommended this to my friends.
I'M not very impressed, I found this story way off the mark as for the damage caused by a huge solar flare.
Way too wordy. Hard to get into.I just read it recently, but am having a hard time even remembering it. I would not recommend spending even $5.00 on it.
A mystery unfolds in the ancient world, and quickly grabs the reader with a lively rendering of characters and action...and that is just the prologue.
What follows is an exciting tale that combines "Indiana Jones" type adventure story telling with very nicely defined protagonists. So vivid is the action, that I couldn't help thinking how well this could translate to film in the right hands. The archaeology, history and science are presented in a very accessible and readable style.
It was a pleasure to read such an absorbing and well crafted story.
great read more action and mystery than about the flare would recommend to others to read would like to see a part 2
