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.

#Leopard2 #AMX-10RC #Bradley_Infantry_Combat "One Second After" is a near-future novel depicting a tragedy caused by an elec-tromagnetic pulse attack. A typical example is the trilogy by author William Forstchen,
Father, writer, scientist, teller of dad jokes. The guy that wrote that book you read that time.
In the sequel to One Second After we have my first edition copy of William Forstchen's One Year After. This is what life is supposed to be like if an EMP goes off and destroys everything electric. It was ok...Not sure it is for everyone. #SciFi #ScienceFiction #CoverArt https://t.co/MWrg5H3MQo
'The denizens of the void, chewing on their tails, compulsively broadcasting the flimsy details of their day-to-day on personal feeds and pages.'

"The only thing more terrifying than this masterfully crafted story is the possibility of it actually happening--and not a damn thing being done to protect us." --W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV
"Forstchen's work has flair and power." --Joel Rosenberg, author of The Sleeping Dragon
