Synopsis

The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times bestselling novel One Second AfterMonths before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, 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.

Goodreads review by Matthew on December 23, 2016

I am not sure if this book or series is for everyone. It is a bit dark and scary, but it is well thought out . . . a "what if" scenario and all the possibilities that are WAY too possible. I enjoy Forstchen's writing and research. This book and the one before do not feel as much like novels as they d......more

Goodreads review by Forrest on October 08, 2015

After having blown through the book in about a day, I figure I'll bang out the review while the story is fresh in my mind. First of all, as I'm sure all the other reviews will note; this story is set TWO years after the first book, so it's my assumption that the author used this title for artistic l......more

Goodreads review by Jim on August 06, 2022

Actual rating is 3.5 stars. This is the second book of a trilogy. I strongly suggest reading the first book before this one. In this one we visit our little town that is dealing with the EMP and the time setting is two years after it happened. Yes, I know. The title says one year after but it is two......more

It was a pretty gripping story about a small North Carolina town trying to survive amidst......more

Goodreads review by Greg at 2 Book Lovers Reviews on August 29, 2017

Survival…that’s what it has been all about since the EMP. Forstchen has allowed one full year to pass since the events of One Second After; yes, you must read book one before embarking on the journey in One Year After. The first book in the series was about getting by, surviving and coming together.......more

Booklist

“Forstchen did such a damned fine job with One Second After that shortly after the first page, I had been reeled in hook, line, and sinker.”
