<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "New York Times"-bestselling author Forstchen presents a terrifyingly real story of terrorism, in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>A post-apocalyptic thriller of the after effects in the United States after a terrifying terrorist attack using electromagnetic pulse weapons. </b><i> <p/>New York Times</i> 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. <p/>Months before publication, <i>One Second After</i> 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 <i>On the Beach</i>, <i>Fail Safe</i> and <i>Testament</i>, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end. <p/><b>The John Matherson Series</b><br>#1 <i>One Second After</i><br>#2 <i>One Year After</i><br>#3 <i>The Final Day</i> <p/><b>Other Books</b><br><i>Pillar to the Sky<br>48 Hours</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"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." --<i>Stephen Coonts, author of The Assassin</i> <p/>"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 <p/>"Forstchen's work has flair and power." --<i>Joel Rosenberg, author of The Sleeping Dragon</i> <p/>"Good storytelling consists very simply of creating characters so believable that the reader forms a deep bond. Forstchen did such a damned fine job with <i>One Second After</i> that shortly after the first page, I had been reeled in hook, line, and sinker." --<i>David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Expediter</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p><b>William R.
