One Second After - Die Welt ohne Strom

The US bestseller. What if someone intended to attack the USA? Wouldn't it be strategically wise to first strip the land of unlimited possibilities of its protection through superior technology? What if there were a weapon that could disable all electronics? This weapon could already be in the hands of enemies. John Matherson, a history professor and former colonel, lives with his family in a peaceful small town in the North Carolina mountains. However, the idyll comes to a sudden end when an EMP cripples the entire United States. All electronic devices—cars, computers, radios, airplanes—stop working in an instant. Society collapses alarmingly quickly, and John must confront a crucial question: How far would you go to protect your family and your home? This novel is a warning. A warning of a danger that could become reality tomorrow: an attack with an EMP weapon. The electromagnetic pulse can incapacitate any form of electronics in a second—and completely erase civilization as we know it. ONE SECOND AFTER is followed by ONE YEAR AFTER and THE FINAL DAY. William B. Scott: "A wake-up call that sends chills down your spine. Chaos and death are just a power outage away. Stock up on food, water, medicine, and batteries immediately. This horror could become reality tomorrow." Harry Turtledove: "Forstchen is one of the most fascinating authors in the field of historical novels and military sci-fi." Booklist: "A gripping, cautionary tale.".
