<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author William R. Forstchen brings a sequel to his hit novel<i>One Second After</i>. Months before publication, <i>One Second After</i> was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at the dangers of EMPs. An EMP is a weapon with the power to destroy the entire United States in a single act of terrorism, in a single second; indeed, it is a weapon that the<i>Wall Street Journal</i> warns could shatter America. In the tradition of <i>On the Beach</i>,<i>Fail Safe</i> and <i>Testament</i>, <i>One Second After</i> was a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end. Now,<i>One Year After</i> returns to the small town of Black Mountain, and the man who struggled so hard to rebuild it in the wake of devastation-John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.
