The book came out yesterday. This previous book One Second After is the one I loaned to my neighbors to get them to start prepping. One lady, originally from China, bought it for all her friends to read. I also direct houseguests for their free reading.

This one has good reviews. It is in my queue at Amazon, but I don't have enough for the $35. free shipping.

You can read the seven reviews here:

I got an early peek at it, and found it very compelling, and highly sobering. Especially the part where one of the characters saw ******** for the first time since “the day”.

(didn’t want to give away a plot point)

[LadyBuck]

Had this on my calendar to purchase...

$12.99 for Kindle version? Ouch.

Then again, it’s Forstchen. I’ll bite and share my thoughts.

Day of Wrath is a MUST read, especially with a new “migrant” population heading our way....

[Resettozero]

Just placed it on hold at the local lending library. Fourth on the waiting list. Should get it by Christmas.

Pretty chintzy, eh?

[Truth29]

Kindle edition $12.99.

Agree, 1 Second After is a good book.

This should be too.

I ordered this book back in February. Then we moved and it shipped to the old address. Oopsie. Waiting for Amazon to tel me how to get it sent to me.

Ping to preppers for kartographer.

I have not read this book but I might pick it up now.

This is interesting:

15 Things I learned from One Second After & My Survival Tips

1. Buy an Edsel (have viable transportation - classic car or bicycle)

2. Stock food

3. Distances that, today, are insignificant, would mean never again seeing loved ones or even your own home if you were stranded far enough away

4. Take care of health issues before the disaster (remember what happened to Tom Hanks in Castaway....)

5. Being a refugee places you in so much danger, that hunkering down, no matter where, is probably preferable (refugees historically fare very poorly)

6. Young men will be at a premium for hard physical labor and security

7. There will be a window of time, initially, in which very few people will realize what has happened

8. There’s probably no such thing as having too much stored food as long as you rotate it and keep it as safe as possible from the enemies of food storage

9. If I get injured anywhere on my body, no matter how minor it may seem, take it seriously! And stock up on a good first aid kit and plenty of hand sanitizer

10. Paranoia may keep me alive

11. Stock up on books (including survival guides)

12. Check out antique stores and estate sales for all sorts of low-tech, pre-computer age tools and appliances

14. An EMP event would be the absolute worst case scenario, hands down

13. Skills and supplies are equally important

15. It would be worth your time to research how to make a Faraday cage

Wait.

A future without FR?

Better to die in an agonizing way.

[AppyPappy]

The problem is the premise is invalid. An EMP blast over a city has already happened. It resulted in minute damage.

[outofsalt]

I’m getting it now, unless I can be your houseguest for a couple of days?

[trisham]

I read “One Second After”. It was great. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Yaelle]

That first book FREAKED me right out. I was a happier person before I read that. Now I am scared to read the next one.

[Eagles6]

I’ll check it out. My favorite is Union Creek Jornal. Still waiting for the follow up.
