One Second After - The Book

I don't read books but it sounds interesting so here's to hoping it comes out in movie format.

Knowing hollywood, if it comes out in a movie it'll have matt damon riding a bicycle to the rescue with a beach ball.

It was a great read, you might also try the library I seem to get books from them more and more these days

EMP blast over the US, sending everyone into the middle ages.

Pretty frightening read. Read it last summer on vacation. Really gets you into the mood for long-term preps.

Some parts of it was annoying, though. The main character in the book writes the end all be all book for the gov't on EMP characteristics, so much so that it becomes the .gov standard go to guide, and yet the guy doesnt notice the effects of the attack until a day or two later?

Sorta sounds like Dies The Fire by S.M. Stirling (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Die...=dies+the+fire). This book had the same effect on me that I'm hearing others say about One Second After. Dies The Fire is actually book 1 of a 4 book series, and there is a second series based off of the characters from the first series (later in time). It also talks about some of the things you'll face and how to protect yourself as well as other survival issues. The one thing about the Dies The Fire series is that there is a change in the laws of physics that comes with the burst ("The Change"). This change renders unusable electricity, combustion power, firearms and explosives.

LOL.

I don't know who these other people are though. I guess Shrek is a cartoon character.
