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...

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. In a world as uncertain and unstable as ours these warnings should not go unheeededVollständige Rezension lesen
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.

Forstchen is a fine writer and his remarkable book is a "page turner". He tells a fictional story about the impact of an EMP nuclear weapon on a small community in North Carolina. A strength of the book is his use of a community where he lives so the details are compelling. He adds a knowledge of the likely consequences of such a disaster with a sensible supposition of how every day people will try to survive. Everyone SHOULD read this excellent book as it is a clear warning to all of us about something that COULD happen! I wish he had added more about the possibility this could happen from a coronal mass discharge from the sun; a more likely event than nuclear war. This is a scary book and I cannot recommend it too strongly.
