ONE SECOND AFTER
TwoGuns wrote:
I have been listening to the Audio CD of ONE SECOND AFTER by William R. Forstchen. The premise of the book is that the United States is hit with EMP warheads. The setting of the action is in the area of Black Mountain, NC. Almost immediately our modern high tech society is destroyed. I am on disc 7 or thirteen right now. The story asks some very enticing questions about our modern society. We are hanging by a thin thread and the fictional events in this story may not be too far fetched. It may be fiction but the possibility of it happening should scare the hell out of all of us. I doubt if our leadership is any better prepared to handle the situation than the fictitious leaders in the story. DL I've wondered what would happen if our technological infrastructure would be hit. It is on my buy list. Working on Apache atm. Apache: Inside the Cockpit of the World's Most Deadly Fighting Machine (Hardcover) by Ed Macy (Author) Saw a review on on in Air & Space magazine.
