Resumen del Editor
A post-apocalyptic thriller of the after effects in the United States after a terrifying terrorist attack using electromagnetic pulse weapons.
In a small North Carolina town, one man struggles to save his family after America loses a war that will send it back to the Dark Ages.
Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based on a real weapon—the electromagnetic pulse (EMP)—which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States, literally within one second.
In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe, and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future and our end.

Historia
Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before.

But things are about to get much, much worse: the country's power grid has collapsed.

Most people think that being prepared for catastrophe means stocking up on MREs and building a bunker in their backyard, but this approach leaves you vulnerable in the real world of car accidents, natural disasters, grid failures, and global pandemics. Prepared overturns today’s paranoid survival wisdom and teaches the foundational skills of preparedness that will not only help you build situational awareness and achieve greater mobility but that will also help you build resilient mental habits.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Just a generation ago this place was called America. Now, after the worldwide implementation of UN-lead program called Agenda 21, it's simply known as the 'Republic'. There is no president. No congress. No Supreme Court. No freedom. There are only the Authorities. Citizens have two primary goals in the new Republic: to create clean energy and to create new human life. Those who cannot do either are of no use to society. This bleak and barren existence is all that 18-year-old Emmeline has ever known.

Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists beyond the airport.

Featured Article: The 20 Best Survival Audiobooks for the Prepper in All of Us
Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

As of last night, he has a passenger in his brain - an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it "the surge". "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic Army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers.

No journalist has reckoned with the psychology of war as intimately as David Finkel. In The Good Soldiers, his bestselling account from the front lines of Baghdad, Finkel shadowed the men of the 2-16 Infantry Battalion as they carried out the infamous surge, a grueling fifteen-month tour that changed all of them forever. Now Finkel has followed many of those same men as they’ve returned home and struggled to reintegrate - both into their family lives and into American society at large.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

In 48 hours, the Earth will be hit by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, a "Carrington Event" that has the power to shut down and possibly destroy the world's electrical infrastructure. To try and prevent permanent damage, everything goes dark prior to the hit: Global communications are shut down; hospital emergency generators are disconnected; the entire internet, media broadcasting, and cell phone systems are turned off. Will the world's population successfully defend itself in the wake of the CME, or will mass panic lead to the breakdown of society as we know it?

The cabin had always been a special retreat for Isherwood Williams, a haven from the demands of society. But one day while hiking, Ish was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the solitude he had so desired took on dire new significance. Ish headed home when he finally felt himself again—and noticed the strangeness almost immediately. No cars passed him on the road; the gas station not far from his cabin looked abandoned; and he was shocked to see the body of a man on the roadside near a small town. Without a radio or phone, Ish had no idea of humanity’s abrupt demise.

President John F. Kennedy once said, “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” Today, a new element has been introduced to the preparations—artificial intelligence. The United States, in its quest to rapidly and effectively defend the nation from a nuclear attack, has incorporated AI into its operation plan of response. But what if the artificial intelligence relied upon by the nation’s decision-makers is wrong? What if AI takes the controls of America’s nuclear response? Might it trigger nuclear war without justification?

An excellent listen!
I really enjoyed this book!! I am very interested in history, anthropology, geopolitics and other topics. Because of my broad interests, I found this book compelling on several levels.
Too many people are getting uptight as they are strangled by their varied perspectives to evaluate this book fairly. The fact is that it is not only plausible, it could happen today. The time line laid out was both scary and fascinating.
I found the writing, narration, technical accuracy and of this novel to be excellent. Also, as a former infantry officer I can say the author has an impressive understanding of land warfare.
Happy driving!!

Sensational Eye Opener....A Must Listen.
I have literally lost count of how many titles I have purchased on audible. In all of those-this is my first review.
This story was incredible...poignant, heart-breaking, and shocking. All that took place in this book hit home so hard because deep down you know that it could possibly happen.
I cried when they suffered, smiled with them, and cheered when they triumphed over daunting challenges. I highly recommend this title...All in all-A Profoundly Moving 'What If' Story. It would be awesome to have a sequel!!

Very thought provoking
I'm very glad that I listened to this book. I actually had to take a day off from it at one point, because I found parts of the story very disturbing. Even if you don't think the premise is credible (a position I would find naive)- it is interesting to think about what the consequences would be of losing the communication, the flow of information, and the conveniences that we rely on daily.

Obamacare is no longer my worst worry
The only attraction in Mr. Forstchen's post apocalyptic America is that NBC, NPR, and The New York Times are gone. Unfortunately, so is everything else. This reasonably well written and rather entertaining novel does not have the full emotional drain of Neville Shute's On the Beach, but it approaches it.
One doesn't doubt the government would deny the possibility of an attack on our country, but a perusal of the EMP site in Wikipedia, and a reasonable skepticism of the competence and integrity of our elected officials may not be reassuring to all. In fact some may, when finished reading, wish to stock up on freeze dried food, fuel, medicine, and ammunition. Plenty of ammunition.

If war came to the USA. . .
The book was really quite amazing - it gripped me all of the way through, even though some parts I wanted to just unplug my earbuds until the part(s) in question would have passed. We have never lived in a world that looked anything like the one he describes - unlike much of the rest of the world.
My one problem - not ONCE do I remember Canada being mentioned in this book. Britain, Europe, Australia, China, North Korea, the Middle East - very many nations received a mention, but CANADA, the US's closest neighbour and ally did not so much merit a single mention. That kinda bothered me a bit. . . . maybe that alone has something to say on this subject. . . .?

The book is excellent and will make you think. It is scary on how vulnerable we are because of our dependence on technolgy and supply gain management of just in time inventories.

Read this book at your own peril
This book is a masterpiece but I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. It truly is gut wrenching and emotional. I think this might be the scariest book I have ever read so people that are prone to get anxiety attacks should probably steer clear of this one, but it is so original and believable that it definitely deserves five stars. I was listening to it while driving through a small village in Iceland, I stopped at a gas station and suddenly the electricity went of the village and the brakes of my car got stuck at the same time, needless to say I got quite a spook. I wasn't quite sure it I should get this book but when I saw it was from Blackstone Audio I decided to give it a try and they delivered as usual.

Outstanding, touching, terrifying
I loved this book! I found it hard to listen to, however, as it was a terrifying scenario from my perspective. But I thought it was very well written, and very well spoken by the reader.
Don't listen to the negative reviews that complain about a 'conservative bias', I'm sure they'd have no problem with this book if it was about the end of the world due to global warming. This book is also not unimaginative, as it has been said - it's realistic. The author wasn't going for a creative, plot twisting novel, he was shooting for an eye opening portrayal of the events that could unfold if an EMP were to hit the United States.
If I had to levy a complaint, it would be that the author spends a bit too much time expounding on the main character's feelings about how things 'used to be' in his world. Too much time is spent thinking about how the soldiers 'are just kids', and so on, which can be a bit monotonous.
That being said, it's well worth your time (or your credit), so don't pass this one up!

Disturbing..I want to enroll in survival school
Believable story of what life would be like without law and order, a food and medicine distribution system and no electrical power. Scary.....but I couldn't put it down.
