One Second After by William R. Forstchen


One Second After is terrifying realistic. You will not be disappointed!

It is a powerful post-apocalyptic cautionary thriller. Well developed characters and writing that keeps you on edge ( in need of a better editor). You will be engaged, frightened and slightly depressed.

This is well worth the read and thought provoking. A story about love, war and survival.

A mix of Stephen Kings, The Stand and Cormac McCarthys, The Road.

A complicated concept delivered successfully and leaving you with the thoughts of, what if...?





Grade: A



Synopsis (From the Publisher)
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.
