The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times bestselling novel One Second After
Months before publication, One Second After 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 Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. One Second After was a dire warning of what might be our future … and our end.
One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain and the man who struggled to rebuild it in the wake of devastation: John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.

"I always wondered what then end of the civilized world would be like...many have thought up scenarios, from crazy to sounding pretty close to reasonnable...the author hit closer to the latter. I could easily lose myself in the world he build, and destroyed...It just sounds like something that could happen anytime...especially in the more recent political climate...I REALLY liked the main character...love him. Typical hero that doesn,t want to be...an older jack reacher perhaps...Could really imagine the scenes and different events happening for real, and it's a bit chilling...."

“At the start of bestseller Forstchen’s stirring sequel to 2009’s One Second After, 730 days have passed since EMP weapons destroyed nearly all electronic equipment in the continental US…Fans of Forstchen’s historical novels coauthored with Newt Gingrich will be satisfied.”
— Publishers Weekly“A fine postapocalyptic thriller, with richly drawn characters and the kind of story that we can easily imagine happening.”
— Booklist“Forstchen did such a damned fine job with One Second After that shortly after the first page, I had been reeled in hook, line, and sinker.”
— David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of Blood Pact" Originally, I took a chance on this series. I had never heard of it but it sounded very interesting. Bronson Pinchot did a wonderful job narrating both of these books. I am looking forward to listening to that final book of the series. As with the first one, I felt like I couldn't put the book down! This is a must read if you have read the first book! "

— afishnwtr, 7/18/2017" A bit misleading it is actually 2 years after, but well worth listening to, I can hardly wait for the next book to be released. "
