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 end of the world as we know it.

E M. - 4 years 11 months ago

A child of the '70s and fan of dystopian fiction long before I even knew what the word meant, I read this book at least once a year. In 2020, I read it twice. It's a story of how if technology were to fail us, many of us would fail each other. Our survival, in a world with or without technology, truly depends on caring for each other and our world. #SpringPick
