The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times bestselling novel One Second After
Months before publication, William R. Forstchen’s One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read. Hundreds of thousands of people have read the tale. One Year After is the thrilling follow-up to that smash hit.
The story picks up a year after One Second After ends, two years since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States brought America to its knees. After suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to piece back together the technologies they had once taken for granted: electricity, radio communications, and medications. They cling to the hope that a new national government is finally emerging.
Then comes word that most of the young men and women of the community are to be drafted into an “Army of National Recovery” and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away.

Does a space count as one letter?
SkyPilot, I was going to post this link, too. This list is from one of our Freepers, who has also been featured on television.
What she didn’t list, which made me very afraid, was to store dog food. DOG FOOD!
To my friends who don’t believe in prepping, I told them I would only babysit their dogs when they went out of town, if they gave me a huge bucket of dog food, just in case, something happens and they don’t make it back, their dogs will have a chance of survival.
I asked for the audio years ago, and I am still waiting.
Wait.
A future without FR?
Better to die in an agonizing way.
Oops! A space would make it 14.
ColdBeer.
The problem is the premise is invalid. An EMP blast over a city has already happened. It resulted in minute damage.
Okay, thanks. Give me a few weeks to work on it and I’ll PM you if I get it before I read the book.
Have a freshwater supply available , or a water storage capacity .
Have the availablity to protect yourself , your family , and your home storage supplies.
Sky Pilot rule #7 : There are many who will be bewildered by catastrophy , and will await for "the authorities" to save them. ( Hint : it took 10 days)
How did that work for folks after Hurricane Katrina ?.. and some of those people are still waiting 10 years later.
Where , when , and what was the megaton amount ?
Will look for it! :)
Good luck!
South Korean news media is reporting the NKs have a new rocket capable of delivering a payload anywhere in the US. This is coming from the SK military.
I’ve gotten sick to death of trying to have a civil discussion on EMP. FR has a hardcore there is no or nothing to fear from EMP that fight to the death over it. Even when trying to talk about a solar super flare there were FR ‘experts’ discounting such an possibility and yet they didn’t even know anything about the Carrington Event. One even discounted the Carrington event because it happened before he was born so that eliminated its relevance.
I’d be interested to know where as well. I’ve never read of any actual EMP blasts done over cities. The only ones I’ve heard of were the original open air blasts done before they knew about EMP. In those cases there was minor damage observed in Hawaii when the blast was in AZ.
There has been some other testing done with non-nuke EMP. The test methodology was questionable since they used borrowed vehicles to determine the damage. The vehicles had to be returned fully operational.
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS....Clicky linky for multi-megaton nuclear explosions
Number of electronics effected: zero.
I’m getting it now, unless I can be your houseguest for a couple of days?
Megaton level weapons aren’t good tests for EMP because anything over around 500 kilotons is a fusion based two stage device that uses a smaller fission bomb as a trigger. The smaller trigger device can saturate the atmosphere, leaving no additional electron cascade for the larger fusion bomb.
The only nuclear tests that qualify for EMP purposes are the Soviet “K” series tests over Kazakhstan in 1962. They are the only tests performed with the right kiloton range, the right altitude and over populated areas.
