  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;New York Times&lt;/I&gt; best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which&#160;one&#160;man struggles&#160;to&#160;save&#160;his family and his small North Carolina town&#160;after America loses a war, in one second, a war&#160;that will send America back to the&#160;Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP).&#160; A weapon that may&#160;already be in the hands of our enemies.Months before publication, &lt;I&gt;One Second After&lt;/I&gt; 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&#160;shatter America.&#160;In the tradition of &lt;I&gt;On the Beach&lt;/I&gt;, &lt;I&gt;Fail Safe&lt;/I&gt; and &lt;I&gt;Testament&lt;/I&gt;, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an apocalyptic thriller and a call to action. <br/><br/>It's a thriller, for sure, and kept me up half the night. The novel is well structured and the story line is linear, so it's a page turner. Much of the imagery is drawn from movies, which is a literay shortcut that the author uses to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52491778">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's a solid effort in the post-apocalyptic genre. At times it reminded me strongly of Lucifer's Hammer by Niven and Pournelle.  Other than similarities in plot, it is similar in that it is very much more explainy and plotty rather than character based.<br/><br/> PA books seem to me to fall into t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63042971">more...</a>]]></body>

Thanks, Mr. Forstchen, for giving me something else to worry about late at night. <br/><br/>One Second After is a work of fiction, but the introduction by Newt Gingrich lends a somber air of credibility to the sto...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66134683">more...</a>]]></body>
