New York Times bestselling author William R. Forstchen brings a sequel to his hit novel One Second After. Months 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. Now, One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain, and the man who struggled so hard to rebuild it in the wake of devastation-John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.**

Warfare has changed on this strange world to which a ship carrying two Civil War regiments was transported. In their ongoing fight against enslavement inflicted on all human societies by the terrifying 9 ft. tall nomadic Hordes, Lieutenant Andrew Keane has allied his Union troops with descendants of medieval Russians and ancient Romans. But the Hordes’ weapons and technology are now more advanced, following the recent arrival of three members of the Bantag Horde via the mysterious “tunnel of light”. Once again the human armies under Andrew Keane must fight to keep the Hordes from recapturing the liberated human cities. The latest attack comes during a bitterly cold winter, and it will take every ounce of ingenuity and courage for Keane’s army to counter the Hordes’ brutal assault.

The highly-anticipated follow-up to William R. Forstchen’s New York Times bestsellers, One Second After and One Year After, The Final Day immerses readers once more in the story of our nation’s struggle to rebuild itself after an electromagnetic pulse wipes out all electricity and plunges the country into darkness, starvation, and terror. After defeating the designs of the alleged federal government, John Matherson and his community have returned their attention to restoring the technologies and social order that existed prior to the EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) attack. Then the government announces that it’s ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what’s left of the U.S. Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. The man sent to confront John is General Bob Scales, John’s old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days. Will General Scales follow orders, or might he be the crucial turning point in the quest for an America that is again united? As the dubious Federal government increasingly curtails liberty and trades away sovereignty, it might just get exactly what it fears: revolution. Advertising Read More
