Jan. 9, 2015, Book: 'One Second After' by William R. Forstchen

Tony is hosting on Jan. 9, 2015, which will be the next book club meeting after Michelle hosts in November. (As a reminder, we do not host book club in December due to the holidays.)

He has selected an intriguing book: "One Second After" By William R. Forstchen. Here is a synopsis from Amazon.com:

New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP).  A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.

Electro Magnetic Pulse
Here are a few reviews:
"Civilization slides into the abyss of a new dark age in this horrifying apocalyptic novel.  Forstchen has put Bin Laden's wet dream on paper and, in the process, taken civilization straight to the rack."--Stephen Coonts, author of The Assassin
 
“The only thing more terrifying than this masterfully crafted story is the possibility of it actually happening—and not a damn thing being done to protect us.” --W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV
