<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><br><br><b>Author:</b> William R.
