One Year After: A John Matherson Novel

by William R. Forstchen

Book Overview

One Year After is the New York Times bestselling follow-up to William R. Forstchen's smash hit One Second After, the novel cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read

The story begins one year after One Second After ends, two years since nuclear weapons were detonated above the United States and brought America to its knees. After months of suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to recover technology and supplies they had once taken for granted, like electricity, radio communications, and medications. When a "federal administrator" arrives in a nearby city, they dare to hope that a new national government is finally emerging.

That hope quickly diminishes when town administrator John Matherson learns that most of the young men and women in the community are to be drafted into the "Army of National Recovery" and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away. He and the people of Black Mountain protest vehemently. But "the New Regime" is already tyrannizing one nearby community.

Will Matherson's friends and neighbors be next?

This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

Customer Reviews

Disappointed.

I ordered this book as a gift for my little brother. I selected the “very good” option. Of course, I didn’t expect it to be perfect, but I didn’t expect it to come with the spine nearly broken in multiple places, half the pages folded down, and a stain on the side. I’d expect that if I’d ordered “acceptable”, but NOT “very good”. I’m not sure about the actual book, I’ve heard it’s great, and the author writes amazing books. This is simply a review on the appearance. Disappointed in the quality, I expected better.

Must read!

This series really makes you think. Entertaining and informative.

Great follow up

I was worried the 2nd book would fall short. This is a great continuation of One Second After. Was hard to put down just like the first book.
