Newt Gingrich did the foreward to One Second After. The whole premise is based upon life after an EMP. Scaryily realistic...particularly coupled w/Gingrich’s mention of the US’s lack of protection of our power systems. I have read Stephen King novels w/no nightmares. This book, I had to put down at times.
I went out and bought it this evening. I just have to finish off The Twelve.
