SynopsisA 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.

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...Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Scary and True Warning about what could happen
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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

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 referring to DC, New York, etc., it became confusing. Also, I didn’t fully understand the government aircraft being able to fly when the electronics should have been fried. All being said, I recommend reading this book to anyone that needs to know how the future could be dealt with. I passed it on to daughterBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Some improvement required
All in all, book was a good read. And now comes the, however, some of it should have been thought out a lttle more. the town "folks" did not have enough to eat, hunted most of the dear and bear. At no time did he say anything about all the FISH that just had to be in the river and lakes. Moste importent, all major military command, control and communications centers are HARD WIRED against EMP.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

One second after.........certainly appropriate
I think everyone should read this book! I did it in 2 days. It is so engrossing I couldn't put it down. We live in a society where we take everything for granted, including our food and medicine, gas, etc. The subject matter in this book is certainly capable of happening. The technology is already there. A disaster of such magnitude would completely affect every single part of our lives. I recommend the book highly!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Very scary scenario
This book illustrates the day to day happenings after an EMP. It is very scary reading because although written as a fictional novel it very well could be a real happening should the sun decide to send us an EMP or an enemy choose to detonate a nuclear bomb above us.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Eye catching and self-explanatory
A "must read" for every responsible American and for every politician and military officer responsible for the safety and security of the USA today! The book describes in detail how the USA's 100% dependence on computers today has made the USA more vulnerable to destruction than at any other time in history since the American Revolutionary War.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

One Second After
It's a peek into a possible future we need to consider and to prepare for. Self-reliance is a worthy goal for any "time" or circumstance. The "easy life" could be the undoing of us all, if not balanced with serious thought and learning of the skills needed for survival.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
