About this product

Product Information

A post-apocalyptic thriller of the after effects in the United States after a terrifying terrorist attack using electromagnetic pulse weapons. 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. The John Matherson Series #1 One Second After #2 One Year After #3 The Final Day Other Books Pillar to the Sky 48 Hours

    Unofficial Review!

    My unofficial opinion! It was a great premise, and for the most part very enjoyable. On the good side, I realize how much research was needed! However, there were times it was repetitive and slowed down the story. I found that getting into the main characters mind (emotions) lacking at times. Could be it becomes overwhelming for the character, but it would be nice for the reader to experience it making it more cathartic, thereby making it easier for the next event to move even higher. At times I wasn’t sure as to the effects of the EMP and what area of the country it covered, at least it was not made clear. Maybe that was on purpose? I think it would have affected the whole country, maybe the world? Keeping it narrow makes it more personable, and I understand that, but later when ...

  • One Second After

    i just read it, couldn't put it down, read the whole thing in a day and a half, while i applaud his taking on a subject i feel we are making a grave mistake(no pun intended..) in overlooking, i think he cleaned it up far too much. the whole plot was too neat, contrived and predictable, almost cliche, should be required reading for all schools, lawmakers etc, but you and i both know that will never happen...and, i believe things will be infinitely more brutal than his rather tame descriptions, ..."it's not a question of "if", but a question of "when"..." it was more than a bit like a Louis Lamour novel, with Jack Reacher as the protagonist...

  • Read it in one long sitting .Facinating and terrifing

    Disturbing premise of the US being attaked with an Electromagnetic Pulse from an atmospheric nuclear detonation. This is about as grim a book as you can read. well written and an easy read it paints a terrifingly possible potrait of a nation devastated as much by the inattention of its polititions as the perpatrators of the civilization changing attack. This is a book worth reading.The author brings an understanding of a world suddenly plunged ito a technological void. In the millisecond of the electromagnetic Pulse all of the electronic marvels that make modern society flourish are suddenly removed. A gripping lament for a people unprepared for a step back a century or more. A people who lack skills and knowledge that are necessary to live. A warning in the form of a well written novel. ...

  • A Classic

    This is an easy to read fictional account. There are still opponents to the conceptual sweeping effectiveness of an energy pulse from nuclear detonation test data is sketchy - but this story makes one think about what if. ...and that part is priceless and what makes it a must read for any inquiring minds.
