Chronicle During Books Overload

In the middle of a sweltering July heat wave that has no end in sight, California’s Golden State Power and Light is on overload. An emergency brownout is already in effect. Then, GSP&L’s newest and largest generator explodes. With four people dead and a widespread loss of power, a fringe group takes responsibility. But for GSP&L vice president Nim Goldman and his family; his adversary, investigative reporter Nancy Molineaux; detective Harry London; and beautiful quadriplegic Karen Sloan, whose every breath depends on electric power, the terror is just beginning . . .

A dramatic and timely story of the people and the events leading to a crisis, Overload presents a fascinating view of the little-known world of electric power production that is vital to contemporary life.

And he has done this very well, I must say. The difficulties faced by the industry, as mentioned in the book, are 100% similar to real life. The amount of research that must have gone into this is highly appreciated.But that is where the good

One of the most beautiful and most satisfying book to read. The book gives you emotional roller coaster ride. Will read it sometime again.

Whenever I re-read an Arthur Hailey book, I wonder why there aren't many writers like him. And that feeling persists even after 30 years!

I got hooked by author Hailey in my misspent youth. That's my excuse. But by the time he wrote this one, he'd run out of gas. Don't bother.
