Geez, that darn ending... ( )

This book grabbed on and didn't let go until I closed it. If you think you are ready for whatever may come down the pike at you, reading this book will make you re-evaluate your preparedness.

The characters are well written, and the subject matter well researched.

I'm not sure if I will read the other 2 in the trilogy, mainly because I don't want to be disappointed. ( )

Riveting. Spine-chilling and sobering tale of just how fragile our technology based civilization has become. ( )

So realistic, scary, hopeful, outstanding! Highly recommended! Have tissues handy! Everyone should read! I want the entire series.

FROM BARNES & NOBLE: 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. ( )

Absolutely fantastic book about what might happen in the wake of an EMP strike. Compelling, fast-paced, and heart-wrenching. ( )
