One Second After (2009) by William Forstchen
New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen has written a novel about a terrifyingly real threat...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after losing a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) device, a weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.
Months before publication, One Second After had 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 On the Beach, Fail Safe and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.
