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.
