The blast of gamma radiation would be the equivalent of over 1000 Hiroshima sized bombs going off on every square metre of the surface of the planet. Unless you were in a deep underground shelter or behind a substantial amount of lead, you could turn on the "bend over and kiss your backside goodbye" sign for every living thing on the surface of the planet. The planet would effectively be sterilised.
