One Second After

William R. Forstchen, the New York Times best-selling author, is back with a story that may seem all too terrifyingly real. In it, a man fights to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war that will ultimately drag the country back into the Dark Ages. An electromagnetically-powered weaponized war (EMP). a weapon that our adversaries could already be holding.

One Second After is a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States in literally one second. Even before it was published, months before it was even published, it was already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon and cited on the floor of Congress as a book that all Americans should read. The Wall Street Journal claims that this weapon has the potential to destroy America. This novel, which is set in a normal American village, is a terrifying warning of what may be our future—and our end—in the vein of On the Beach, Fail Safe, and Testament.
