Looks like William Forstchen has a sequel to One Second After scheduled to release late summer.

Reading the Morrigan's Cross trilogy by Nora Roberts. Terrible. It is a vampire novel and I expected the fantasy aspect to be weak as I was.under the impression that she is a romance novel author. However, the "romance" portions of the book are just as bad, if not worse, than the fantasy portions.

I hear TimK is currently working on a book. Excited for it to be done.

Is anyone reading the "Holding Their Own" series by Joe Nobody?

I haven't had a chance to read those yet. Was One Second After pretty good? people seem to like it a lot. I need to read it. Glad this thread is keeping some traction.

I'm excited to see that Antony Beevor has a new book out, Ardnnes 1944. I've really enjoyed some of his others. They are not really fast reading but if you enjoy detailed military history he is one of the best. I think Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945 were two of my favorites. Beevor may not be as exciting as Ambrose but he knows his stuff and presents it well. The best comparison would be Rick Atkinson' Liberation trilogy. Maybe a little drier.

Has anyone read the The Martian yet? I've been eyeing it for a bit and wonder what people think

Read Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series over the last few weeks. Easy, entertaining, fun reading. Will check out some of his other stuff.

Picking up Book #5 Nemesis from the library today.

"One Second After" is very good. Forstchen is a good writer. I read it 3-4 yrs ago and have reread it twice since. While it is not my favorite (mostly because I like long multi book stories) post apocalypse story it is usually the one I loan out when introducing noobs to reasons for prepping/preparedness.

Mrs bo picked me up a reference book yesterday. Looking forward to learning how much I don't know about meat processing.
