Read this book twice, and now reviewing the audiobook while I travel. AMAZING. Scary, insightful, and scary. It got me started on preparations for ANY unforseen event. Never too late and never too much preparation. Outstanding book Mr. Forstchen. Thank you.
Just re-read the first and finishing the second tonight. Firmly believe they should all be a movie. Just enough fact tied with the story to make a movie
I'm halfway through the book now. Possibly the most eye-opening book I've ever read. I've just ordered a bunch of stuff from a Geiger counter to a shortwave radio, all to go into the EMP proof box I'm creating. It's not foil-hat type lunacy, just a sensible form of insurance we should all have in our basements. I'm glad I bought the book.
I recently read this book and it's two sequels... this is a very, very scary scenario to think about - an EMP attack by a terrorist group that could result in the U.S. losing 80% of it's population over one year's time is something that very well could occur, and we'd all be very wise to make our own preparations for the worst just in case... the federal government should get cracking and start upgrading our electrical grid for hardening against EMP, even if a terrorist attack does not occur - a solar flare (Carrington Event) could knock out not just the U.S.'s power grid but other countries as well - then we'd see a real apocalypse! I'm planning to get into prepping myself, and I'd advise everyone else who thinks this type of scenario could happen to do so as well!
I'd like to know why Forstchen's web site doesn't work any longer. This is a great book! I'm almost finished with it, and it is horrifying! This is not science fiction, it is science FACT, and I expect it to impact the United States in the near future. Make you preparations now... and if I'm wrong, then no loss - you still have plenty of usable goods at hand.
One of the best prepper fiction books I have read is "Nine Meals To Anarchy" by Farrell Kingsley. If you liked One Second After or Lights out you will love his book. Its non-stop, lots of action and he tries to make his books "Educational Fiction" which is good because it get's you thinking.
all of you preppers,we as a nation are going to re evaluate,if this happens and it very well could,we will find out real soon how much you care about this country,as soon as this happens we will be attacked by whoever would want total take over,lookout for your neighbor,take care of whoever has your back,food and water will be our least fear,having all of these maladies will be our least problem,having all of this and a invasion would be serious shit,so take car of whoever you can,and altogether we will endure,WE WILL ENDURE
Perhaps we should give less aid to Israel since we give them billions each year (and they already have one of the highest GDP's and strongest militaries in the world) - and use that money to bolster our own infrastructure.
Perhaps we should stop spending billions on the military every year ourselves, and focus on our infrastructure instead. A reliable infrastructure that can work under an emergency will do more to protect us than a few more aircraft carriers and jets.
Simply one of the greatest books written. I've re-read them, simply amazing. Yet scary, too.
Greatest book ever written:
The Holy Bible. (King James Version... or some would argue The Geneva Bible)
Facts both of you!
Third time through for me now. Excellent writing, great story & character development…all while being completely terrifying at the same time.
@@alitlweird Having a religious/spiritual path during a horrific scenario never hurts.
One of the best prepper fiction books I've ever read. Amazing author who did a TON of research to write this book.
Just binge-listened and was sooo impressed at the amount of research that went into it. What a classic!

Facts. Same here; prepping!
We are fools for ignoring this! Thank you for posting it!
Its 2023, this is a real possibility now. Lots going on around the world!
There was one of the AMERICAN ASSASSIN books TOTAL POWER or TOTAL CONTROL that talked about a GRID DOWN. This is something to seriously consider!
One of the top book series ever, scary as it gets, heartbreaking and humbling... Just awesome...
Read all three...the last one, the most exciting...should be made into a movie...great author...fascinating story...
Just re-read the first and finishing the second tonight. Firmly believe they should all be a movie. Just enough fact tied with the story to make a movie
If you haven't read this, get it when you can. Also his other books "One Year After" and "Day Of Wrath".
My favorite author of doom. Pure genius.

I don’t have a basement. 🥺
You do not need a basement for a faraday cage.
And to think that humans used to live without electricity and did just fine. People today are far too reliant on the grid.
Did they have severe weather conditions brought on by haarp?
Either way a good read
They didn't do just fine. They had hard lives.
@@greggrimer1428 but they lived
Except the Armish. I love the Armish.

Thomas Salo what are the other books
The man speaks the truth.
I've read the trilogy a few years ago. It's what really started my prepping adventure
I am now reading them again.
Loved this series

Right
Read the whole series.
Correction: the NORTH Koreans detonated a nuke, not "The Koreans". I just got 3 of his books this week. I'll be busy for a month.
The book is very good and so sad because it could happen. Don't forget his other book One year after.
There are 3 books in the series.
i love this book
EMP, my biggest fear.
One Second After, will be too late. Better buy your survival garden seeds on ebay now. One second after will be too late.
A men!
sounds like a book I wanted want to read/

Look up legal name fraud, and the legal person, folks, we’ve been played, and those that we have trusted have betrayed us. Sad time

strattuner we will endure if we find like minded honorable people to back each other and can totally trust each other.... if not we get nowhere.

Just stop any finding for Israel, they don't need any foreign aid.
Author now lives in a 4000sqft home with all mod cons. From book sales.
Great book, but really not gonna happen by a foreign entity… but certainly could happen naturally via the Sun.
That's an awesome book !!! scary at the same time
mrzach888 you didn't have to watch the video... lol
