More lists with this book...
1. Every important adult male character is either military or ex-military. Seriously. As a bonus, several minor characters that are merely alluded to are also ex-military. (For example, at one point we learn that a pharmacist's husband is an ex-ranger and insists that she keep a gun at the pharmacy. Good times.)
2. As others have pointed out, the author doesn't know the difference between of and have.
3. Much, perhaps most, of the action happens 'off scr...more
Oddly, the premise of this book - an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) shutting down the world's grid - came to my reality when all the high power solar flares were coming towards earth in early March 2012. Solar flares can cause the same reacti...more
An Electromagnetic Pulse is set off over the United States and all electronic chips of any and every kind are rendered inoperative. The author then demonstrates in blunt and terrible fashion what this means: within a few days people are starving, the seriously ill are dying and law and order has collapsed, and it just gets worse from there...more
I did feel a little disappointed when some of the action was skipped over and happened behind the scenes. Felt a little cheated a couple of times when this happened, but overall I was really captivated.
I think that with listening to the audiobook I didn't pick up on as many grammatical errors than others did when reading the physical book. Ob...more
'Charlie, Americans were so damn unprepared...we spent a helluva lot of time wringing out hands about global warming and that wasn't even true. Just last week we were worried about basketball playoffs, now men are taking arms over a slice of bread. It reminds me of the Civil War. Also that movie, Indepe...more
One Second After manages to be scary because it sounds very plausible. In fact, William Fortschen supposedly wrote this book in part to warn Americans about a threat he believes has been overlooked and ignored — hence the foreword by Newt Gingrich and the afterword by a military officer, both warning...more
From a literary point of view, this scenario could have been rendered as a gripping human interest story in microcosm, but instead the...more

really liked it · review of another editionIt is basically two books:
1. An essay on everything our society would deal with in a post-apocalyptic scenario
2. How a small community in North Carolina deals with that post-apocalyptic scenario.
The detail from the 'essay' is well researched and thoroughly broken down into a plethora of possibilities. Every element is terrifying and it is amazing how we are only the loss of a few resources we count on every day before we could be...more
Apocalyptic thriller chaos and death. Has many good information about what to do. If this series was a movie for TV, maybe more people will watch and learn something. Newton Gingrich wrote the forward, government, especially this one won't do anything to prepare for a EMT attack.

This is the story of a man living in a small town in NC with his family when an electromagnetic pulse attack transforms the USA into a postapocalyptic country.
That said, here are my issues with the book:

My very first issue, is that in a PA book, you want that moment when the crap has hit the fan,...more
Numerous grammatical errors. I blame both author and editor a bit in this area. They are not disasters, but certainly should have been caught: 'He wished he would of...', 'the apples were growing too slow.'. These are not colloquialisms; they are errors.
Multiple typos can be found in in Kindle edition. For some reason on a few words you will find space characters inside the words, as if there had been some software-generated hyph...more

BUT WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH ALL THE SHOULD OFs AND WOULD OFs?!

And there were just too many 'We are all Americans', 'This is still America, for God's sake'.

Other than that, absolutely lovely.
Second: the protagonist was a HUGE hypocrite. This would be fine, but at no point in the novel does he, or anyone else, ever realize that he has this character flaw. On multiple occasions through...more
Reading, going through pages and pages, could of been at the beach, should of saved my money, but then again, like back in 1988, when I read The Stand, I thought I might enjoy this book. Characters talking, no object, subject or verb, no action either damn it. Just prepositional phrases and run-on sentences in abundance, not an editor in the damn place, needed a cigarette to get through the pain, eleven left. So...more

America, without even knowing it, was under attack when a nuclear missile explodes in the atmosphere and 'one second after' all electrical power is lost in the country. It is a doomsday scenario that is, unfortunately, all too possible and c...more
Set in a bucolic little mountain town in North Carolina, this is the story of the United States that starts the second after an EMP attack. This is a real scenario, based on real science. Small nuclear bombs launched just above the atmosphere send an electromagnetic pulse that utterly and irrev...more
The EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) is unleashed by China(?), N. Korea(?), the Middle East(?) on parts of the United States and everything immediately comes to a standstill. The story takes place in a small town in the mountains close to Asheville, North Carolina, w...more
