New York Times bestselling author William R. Forstchen brings a sequel to his hit novel One Second After. Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at the dangers of EMPs. An EMP is a weapon with the power to destroy the entire United States in a single act of terrorism, in a single second; indeed, it is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. One Second After was a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end. Now, One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain, and the man who struggled so hard to rebuild it in the wake of devastation-John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.
William Forstchen's novel, Pillar to the Sky tells the story of a world sinking into apocalypse, which can only be saved by a radical and terrifying experiment. This is a fascinating, fiercely passionate, well-honed thriller full of innovative insights, suspense and cutting edge science. I highly recommend it.
Since I read "One Second After", I've been hoping for a sequel. I really wanted to find out how the characters fared as time went by, as well as the evolution of the local politics. It was exciting to be taken back to Black Mountain, NC to continue the adventure. As usual, Forstchen kept me riveted to the book and introduces new and interesting characters. Old enemies become new friends. New conflicts. New battles. I enjoyed the strife between our heroes and the "Big City" of Ashville. The locals are faced with possible anarchy or fascist rule. Stcik together or perish fighting among themselves.

Overall, this book was an enjoyable experience. I will mention that, inevitably, "One Year After" does not have the same level of impact on current society as "One Second After". The naration of the actual effects of an EMP attack on modern day North Carolina was very powerful. But the continuation of the story allows us to follow characters that we already know and love. Or hate. Forstchen has a gift for bringing characters to life and creating realistic interpersonal adversities. His battle scenes always keep me on the edge of my seat. I always feel like I'm part of his stories. If you haven't read "One Second After" yet, by all means do. If you have then you will want to follow up with "One Year After".
This novel is also full of well-developed, real persons who struggle with their own weaknesses as they strive to rebuild their corner of the world. But it also goes much deeper than many other post-apocalyptic action novels. John's analysis of the progress on the electrical generation and the telephone switchboard at the end are very perceptive. Similarly, the actions of John and the town to try to save the wounded survivors that they were just fighting demonstrated a real depth of character, which contrasted sharply with the shallow, selfish character of the district administrator.
