"Civilization slides into the abyss of a new dark age in this horrifying apocalyptic novel.  Forstchen has put Bin Laden's wet dream on paper and, in the process, taken civilization straight to the rack."--Stephen Coonts, author of The Assassin "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.

Synopsis
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.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

    This book will scare you because it could happen

    The author is a ex military officer. He put into a story of what is commonly known knowledge. Reading this story you will envision your family starving, eating your family pets, possibly freezing to death, being attacked by marauders that want to take what you have and rape you and then kill you. The list goes on. This book has provoked many families into becoming survivalists, preppers, self sufficient, homesteaders etc. You will want to prepare for emergencies after reading this book. Why? Because it could happen and the government has done nothing to prepare for it. They have no plan to save you or your family. If you don't prepare for your family then who will?

  • Great eye opener if you read it.

    Terrific story that will really get you to thinking about what could and very possibly will happen some day. It's NOT a domesday novel, just a great read where you will learn a lot about life's hard decisions. Happy reading. And when you are finished there is a sequel.

  • One Second After

    Thought provoking book about how dependent and vulnerable our society has become on electricity, transportation, medicine, technology, bountiful food and the government to provide and protect. And, how quick and difficult our lives would become if those things were suddenly unavailable to us. Interesting, plausible story about the effects of this disaster on a normal, everyday American family and the small community where they live.

  • FANTASTIC book about post-EMP America (Fiction but could really happen!)

    This fictional scenario could possibly happen on any given day in America. It prepares you to think about what needs to happen immediately after an EMP. It should be required reading for every American.

  • Prepper or not you will love this story

    One Second After the EMP attack is one second too late to prepare. Great read, and gives you something to think about whether or not you are a prepped.
