He just finished the second book, One Year After, which picks up where One Second After ends.
Good read.
Thanks. I didn’t know there was a follow-on book. I’ll have to get it, too.
After reading One Second After, I’m not sure there’s much prep anybody could do to be ready for a disaster of this magnitude. If you have enough money to lay up everything you’ll need for a one- to two-year starvation period (food, water, fuel, ammunition, medicines), then you’ll be a juicy target for the starving hordes and roaming gangs.
I like the way the townspeople came up with rules for either staying on your own or pooling your sustenance with the community. If you do decide to go it on your own, how can you fend off the roaming gangs?
Forstchen did an excellent job thinking through human nature in such a disaster and it left me thinking most preppers are not really aware of how desperate people will be.
Also, a bug-out cabin will be pretty useless when an EMP attack happens and all transportation immediately stops dead in its tracks. Any stores you laid in at the cabin will be quickly raided by others.
