Y2K: It's Already
Too Late
Y2K
will make you forget it didn't happen.
Los
Angeles riots and burns to the ground. Neighbors fight in
grocery stores over the last remnants of food. An old man
dies from a stopped pacemaker. Digital power brakes lock up
at seventy miles per hour. The lights are out. The phones
are dead. The U.S. military sits crippled on bases and in
ports around the world. Suddenly, from within the confusion,
the Chinese navy steams toward Hawaii.
Operating
on its own diesel electricity and private satellite network,
Solvang Solutions is the only company still operable after
New Year's Eve 1999. Mark Solvang frantically directs his
Year 2000 repair firm to restore the world. He discovers powerful
forces exploiting the meltdown and finds himself in a race
to save his life.
The
Year 2000 computer "glitch," known as Y2K,
was a very real problem. This novel is based on evidence from
congressional testimony, military documents, and reports from
computing experts. It is a chilling look at what could have
happened.
