About this listen

The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times best-selling novel One Second After.

Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should have, 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.

What did you like most about One Year After?

Took the story of one second after forward. But very annoyingly a different narrator... which detracts from the feeling of continuation.

What other book might you compare One Year After to, and why?

The postman... trying to rebuild civilisation

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Enjoy is perhaps the wrong word... but accepting the remains of the reavers into the community was very memorable.... but the ending felt too contrived... I was begining to think that the small band of college school kids had increased 10 fold .

Any additional comments?

The return of hopless career politicians after everything folk have suffered in the first book is so annoying... but actually so likely to be true!

Good sequel

Is all we fear in a SHTF scenario, to fight against our own guverment.
