One Second After (Paperback)

"New York Times" best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies. "Months before publication, "One Second After" has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the "Wall Street Journal" warns could shatter America. In the tradition of "On the Beach," "Fail Safe" and "Testament," this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.

Gets you thinking

Tue, 5 Nov 2013 | Review by: Shirley B.

The shocking truth to this fiction is the realisation of how dependent we have become on electricity and electronics. We are so wired up that even the simplest of survival tools are lost on the majority us. Very good read and does get you thinking of the "what ifs". A little bit predictable but it clearly demonstrates just how connected and disconnected we are. Worth reading.
