One Second After Trilogy
The complete One Second After trilogy. A series of post-apocalyptic thrillers by William R. Forstchen.
One Second
New York Times bestselling author William R. Forstchen 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.
One Year
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.
The Final
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.

About the author
William R. Forstchen
116 books1,739 followersWilliam R. Forstchen (born 1950) is an American author who began publishing in 1983 with the novel Ice Prophet. He is a Professor of History and Faculty Fellow at Montreat College, in Montreat, North Carolina. He received his doctorate from Purdue University with specializations in Military History, the American Civil War and the History of Technology.
Forstchen is the author of more than forty books, including the award winning We Look Like Men of War, a young adult novel about an African-American regiment that fought at the Battle of the Crater, which is based upon his doctoral dissertation, The 28th USCTs: Indiana’s African-Americans go to War, 1863-1865 and the "Lost Regiment" series which has been optioned by both Tom Cruise and M. Night Shyamalan.
Forstchen’s writing efforts have, in recent years, shifted towards historical fiction and non fiction. In 2002 he started the “Gettysburg” trilogy with Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; the trilogy consists of Gettysburg: A Novel of the Civil War, Grant Comes East, and Never Call Retreat: Lee and Grant - The Final Victory. More recently, they have have published two works on the events leading up to Pearl Harbor and immediately after that attack Pearl Harbor, and Days of Infamy.
In March 2009, Forstchen’s latest work, One Second After, (Forge/St. Martin’s books) was released. Based upon several years of intensive research and interviews, it examines what might happen in a “typical” American town in the wake of an attack on the United States with “electro-magnetic pulse” (EMP) weapons. Similar in plotting to books such as On the Beach and Alas Babylon, One Second After, is set in a small college town in western North Carolina and is a cautionary tale of the collapse of social order in the wake of an EMP strike. The book has been optioned by Warner Bros. and currently is in development as a feature film. The book was cited on the floor of Congress and before the House Armed Services Committee by Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R.-MD), chair of the House Committee tasked to evaluate EMP weapons, as a realistical portrayal of the potential damage rendered by an EMP attack on the continental United States.
Forstchen resides near Asheville, North Carolina with his daughter Meghan. His other interests include archaeology, and he has participated in several expeditions to Mongolia and Russia. He is a pilot and co owns an original 1943 Aeronca L-3B recon plane used in World War II.

I've read some reviews bashing these books based on the writing style, grammatical errors, etc. Yes, it has that as well as some repetitiveness. These are not books written for pretty prose or to win an award. They are a warning. The story itself is terrifying in it's possibility. And the actions of those in power are completely believable. It made me think about how fragile our lives really are and how dependent we are on modern day conveniences. I read all three books in a row and couldn't put them down.

It's early spring in North Carolina when an EMP goes off. Colonel John Matherson is history professor at a local college he must use all his tactical knowledge to survive. Not only does his town need him but his daughters and in-laws as well.
I really enjoyed this read. It's been a long time since I almost cried over a fictional character but I came close with this book. I appreciated the unflinching way human nature was handled and have to agree with the author on how things would break down societally.

This is a story about when an EMP strikes, and the results of it.
However horrifying this might be - the probability of this happening is getting more real every day.
This book makes you not only think of the "what if" scenario, but also puts right in front of your eyes, how dependent we are all on electric and electronics.
The story is a direct, step-by-step account of what will happen, if an EMP strikes and how people try to live after.
The question is actually not "IF" it happens, but "WHEN".
Can humanity overcome an incident like this, even if it throws us back to the dark ages ?
It might seem as a nightmare, more terrifying than any horror story could be...but it can be very real in the near future - possibly even today or tomorrow ?
Yes, it will definitely give you nightmares !
Many experts warn, that after an EMP strike like this - no food, no water, no communication, no transportation, no heat or air conditioning, etc. - people will perish fast within the first 30 days.
This is not a fantasy, but could become reality very quickly.
Read it and try to learn, how you could prepare and hopefully survive.

Great read! I always loved survival type books and this one was a great recommendation.

A chilling dystopian tale, rooted in today's possible tomorrow, and leading to the inescapable warning to be ready for anything..
I've been prepping for several years, but I see now that I am still woefully unprepared for what might happen. I've got this Covid-19 handled, for one person, but there is much more to accomplish in my home, and for my distant family.
The novels are fast paced, relatively believable, and paint a clear picture of the deceit, corruption, and just plain evil that infests our government, and our society. Unrestrained, people will succumb to their base nature of "me first". It at the same time underscores the greatest elements of human nature, compassion, mercy, redemption and love.
His handling of small arms is childish, and seemingly ignorant, as if a 12 year old gamer guided him. Possibly he just didn't care about this element of his storyline, but it was surprising in this type of novel.
All in all, a good read and worth the leisure time invested.

Hmm, so... I was wondering if I should comment on these series and risk being called a leftist snowflake, but where is the fun in not arguing after all.
I know what I was getting myself into, and "Murrica!" The book was expected. It did not surprise me, nor did it irritate me. It was clear from the description of both the books and the author that this will be a brand of patriotism I do not subscribe to even for my own country, and that's okay.
With that said, John's pondering climate change, clean energy, guns, the "soft spoiled society," and how everything old from music to tech is better, seemed like the author was trying to push a message beyond "we should consider EMP" And more like "these things are stupid, wrong, and unimportant, mine matters more." That I found slightly off-putting. I get it - you are right-wing, but it's not like the USA cares that much to do something about climate change or gun violence, either. What are you on about? The satanic cults were even a bit funny to me cause that seemed taken straight from the satanic panic. No one cares about Satan more than trolling religious folks with him.
But again, I knew what I was getting into. We don't have to agree.
Now, to what really annoyed me:
"So this happened." Why were we learning about stuff after it happened as told by people? That was a choice. Here is how it went:
Some shit goes down. Time skip. People talk about the shit that went down. Why? It's not like you need to fit within a movie budget or a word count. At some point felt like John in regards to sitting in endless town meetings. it got to be such a letdown, especially by the end of the trilogy.
So many cool characters got offed off-screen. It sucks because when we were in the moment of shit going down, like the elder's home, was where this book really shined.
Everyone is ex-military or turned military by necessity later. It felt like even the dogs in this town were veterans.
Vets get too much unnecessary shit so I don't mind making them important at all, but most characters that matter - that's a bit much. It felt like a town for vets. I even wondered, and still do, if it was mentioned that it is such a town. Even the old IT guy had something to do with the military if I remember correctly.
Some characters simply stop being important and go away. His older daughter is barely in the last book. I was surprised he didn't think someone might go after her and that no one did. Her plot device e role ended in book two, and she didn't matter after that.
And some others just die to die - it felt a bit like later seasons of The Walking Dead in that regard. And before you say - it's a disaster, people die - it's a book first and foremost. Killing of characters just for sadness points feels more frustrating than sad.
There are other annoying things to me, but they are spoilers, and I'd like to keep this clean.
Now to what I liked:
It was interesting to learn about EMP. I liked how it all went down with the confusion and panic.
Our main character gets some criticism in reviews, but I found him likable enough he wasn't nearly as toxic or as badass as many people would write him, and I liked that prior he had no combat experience, that he wasn't super chill with murder, he wasn't sexist or racist. All things I also thought I was getting into, so that was a nice surprise.
I especially loved the destruction of the "I was following orders" excuse, and as much as he glorified the military, he criticized it and its structure in several ways. Wish he didn't stary from admitting some psychos join the force for guilt-free murder, but I liked how much damage was done by soldiers who blindly did what they were told, got intimidated into it, or were just dumb.
The story is interesting and has development. It is somewhat believable, and It was cool to see it unfold.
When we saw things as they happened, as opposed to being told about them, it felt like the author's skill jumped up. Some moments were really chilling. Some were really sad.
It's not a bad book, tho I am biased in liking disaster stories. Just know what you get into, whether it is your thing or not.

The foreword for this book is written by Newt Gingrich.
The edition I read has the entire trilogy in one book. If I switch back and forth between treating this as a trilogy and as a single work, understand that it is because of the format of the media that I purchased.
One Second After was not really written for its entertainment value. William was trying to emphasize the danger the nation faces because of our feeble electric grid. Honestly, the writing in the first book was not great. The warning is VERY important, but the drama didn't work all that well.
The second book, One Year After, was written with far more technical writing sophistication. The story was also more exciting.
The third book was written quite well and the plot moved along nicely.
If you have read Alas, Babylon or On the Beach, you have an idea what you are in for. This is not a happy book with nice things happening. The warning is clear.
EMP and the United States Government:
I read a report by the United States government back around 1985 that discussed the affects of EMP on radios and electronics. The report that was done by the government was not that through. Whether they were holding back on the data or they just didn't care to delve too deeply, the report generated far more questions than it answered. I do remember that the report stated that, even with a relatively small EMP, 70% of the electronics failed to operate or operated at a far less effective level... I believe the actual testing took place in the late 1960s? Current documents from the United States government seem to be political double talk. If you seek some protection from EMP, do NOT expect help from the government.
Interesting areas touched on in the books:
When everything is falling apart, will Americans stick together or fall apart? When does a government become one that is no longer properly constituted? What are steps that can be taken to prepare for disasters, of whatever nature? How will people who are on happy pills deal with sudden withdrawl? People who depend on government intervention on a regular basis will survive how? If California suddenly became another country's problem, would anyone care?
The first book is least entertaining but the most important to read. Research EMP and come to your own conclusions.

John Matherson lives in Black Mountain, North Carolina working as a professor at Montreat College. It’s an idyllic place to live and raise a family. Then the USA suffers an EMP attack that leaves virtually everything nonfunctional. Nothing will be the same for John as he struggles to hold his family and his community together. Keeping everyone alive and safe from a society that has broken down, with the worst of the worst cutting a path of destruction everywhere they go, is his number one priority.
Forstchen presents us with a ‘what if’ scenario in very real terms. His insight into human behavior is spot on. He doesn’t sugarcoat the issues and presents new world problems in the harsh environment of a post EMP strike. He does a good job of developing John’s character. The world building has enough details that I can envision the scenes. Overall, these books are well written and attention-grabbing.
You will enjoy this series. It will educate you and challenge you. If nothing else, it is thought-provoking.

Forstchen creates a post EMP-dystopian world that's a combination stone age, medieval fiefdoms, industrial revolution and wild west. With so many interesting historical references, continual political/civic/military upheaval, scientific losses and rediscoveries, and day-to-day difficulties to overcome, I became immediately invested in the overarching plotline and finished the series in rwo weeks. This is DESPITE the uneven and often clunky writing, the redundancies, the monologuing (waaaaay too much tell, not enough show), and the GaryStu protagonist with a victim/martyr vibe. SPOILER ALERT Decided to update the series to include the appropriate subtitles.
One Second After: John Matherson Saves Black Mountain!

Very well written story
This story, spanning the three years after an EMP attack on the US, follows John Matherson and his community as they try to survive. It is well written and the characters are believable. They are not all good or evil but a mix of the two. There are a lot of ways people would respond to this sort of emergency, I am glad that John's community pulled together and helped each other, even while needing to block the refugees from staying. This story made me laugh, made me cry, made me happy, and made me angry, a sign, for me, of a great book.
If you enjoy stories about what might happen, you will probably enjoy this series.

Individually, I rated each of these books 4 of 5 stars. They’re all very decent and quite entertaining. I don’t give a whole lot of books 5 stars because I just consider that high standard hard to reach and reserved for truly epic works.
However… this series taken as a whole - I give 5/5 and wholeheartedly recommend, even if I have little nitpicks here and there and didn’t give any individual book a 5. I’d consider the fictional events in this series to be entirely plausible, quite disturbing, and hopefully not prophetic. Undoubtedly an eye-opening look into our potential vulnerabilities as a modern society.

wow
I have never read a novel where I wanted the protagonist to be killed until now. Dr Forstchen was able to create a very unsympathetic “hero”. It seems like he tried to make the story plausible but I suppose it is a novel after all. I kept reading until the end mainly because the location was very familiar. Obviously this is not my favorite apocalyptic novel.

I loved this whole series - obviously put up the trilogy but just finished "The Final Day". Did NOT end as I expected, and enjoyed it. Thought provoking, to say the least. Also, even though I really liked it - I think guys would like it even more.
November 8, 2021
While the book was very well written and insightful, I had a rough time with all the foul language. It did however give you a good glimpse of what could happen should there ban attempt on the United States by way of EMP
January 28, 2023
These books were everything I wanted and more! Cried, laughed, cried some more, and loved every minute of it. So realistic and scary at times because you can tell a lot of thought/research/knowledge went into this book and what would happen in this situation. Very good trilogy.
June 24, 2024
One second after is great story; the remainder are good but tend to drag along and are a bit more of a "post apocolyptic boringness" whereas the One second after is a bit more how to survive and somewhat of an adventure.

Fiction you hope stays fictional.
Good read. Enjoyable, relatable characters. Heart wrenching. Scary as hell in many ways. Something you hope the government has actually taken steps to prevent/prepare for.

Good story
Good story. Maybe not the best dialogue at times, but the story moves at a good pace and it was entertaining. Worth the read.

First book excellent. The second and third good.

Must reads !!

Follow up on One Second After -now there is a power struggle to take over the US. Definitely need to read these books in order.
February 1, 2022
Definitely recommend it.
January 15, 2023
Tells a good story. And well written. But a dry read. And a sort of disappointing end.
March 7, 2023
Loved the series. Perhaps a bit poor writing in a few places, but overall an eye-opening foretelling of a very possible occurrence. Get your lives in order. This can happen.
February 24, 2024
This was an exceptionally frightening read of what could become a reality in the not so far away. It’s chilling, compelling, and a real eye-opener!
September 15, 2024
Thought provoking. Due to the age of the author, some references may go right over the heads of younger people. It's a great example of...perhaps, how it should go. Hmmmm 1
September 30, 2024
So good!
November 11, 2025
I couldn’t put the book down! All of them are very good and thought provoking.
