A major release in the New York Times bestselling One Second After
series, set in an alternate America rebuilding after an electromagnetic
pulse, this is William R. Forstchen's The Final Day.
Since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States more
than two years ago, the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina has
suffered famine, civil war, and countless deaths. Now, after defeating a
new, tyrannical federal government, John Matherson and his community
intend to restore their world to what it was before the EMP apocalypse.
For the most part, they are succeeding.
This period of relative stability doesn't last long. A new, aggressive
government announces that it's taking over and ceding large portions of
the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in
effect, and what's left of the U.S. Army has been deployed to suppress
rebellion in the remaining states. John fears he and his town will be
targets.
General Bob Scales, John's old commanding officer and closest friend
from prewar days, is sent to bring John into line. Will John and his
people accept the new, autocratic regime? Or will revolution rip the
fledgling nation apart at the seams?
Months before publication, William R. Forstchen's novel One Second
After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should
read. This third book in the series immerses readers once more in the
story of our nation's struggle to rebuild itself after an
electromagnetic pulse wipes out all electricity and plunges the country
into darkness, starvation, and death.
This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market
paperback.
