Flare is a science fiction novel by American writers Roger Zelazny and Thomas Thurston Thomas, published in 1992.
The novel envisions Earth in the year 2081 and explores the harmful impact that a solar flare could have on a future interplanetary civilization after nearly a century of solar inactivity.
The book takes a scientific approach to its concept, offering almost no traditional narrative. Instead, it is composed of short segments depicting people in various locations suffering from the effects of the solar flare.
