Publisher Description

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.

Far too real

Scary

Canadian Max Bacon ,

It should scare you into doing something before its too late.

This book is an eye opener for those already "switched on"!
As a law enforcement officer I've had nine years of experience with the worst animals my country has to offer. There are those in society that would victimize and violate others if it were not for the rule of law, take that fear away, add in desperation, and you have this scenario.
This book should be an eye opener for those unprepared to provide and protect their families and loved ones. No one else will do it for you.
I couldn't believe the amount of research that went into this book. It gave me a lot to think about it and I believe I can be better prepared for the eventualities that would come from such a scenario or a CME.
It should scare you, scare you into action.....

One second after

Interesting read but very bleak. While the purpose of the book is clear -a return to despair after a nuclear event- it is very discouraging . I hope such a disaster never happens
