Reviews

"A fine postapocalyptic thriller, with richly drawn characters and the kind of story that we can easily imagine happening." --Booklist, on One Year After "Forstchen is the prophet of a new Dark Age. The wise will listen." --Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author, on One Year After "True storytelling that only the rarest of writers ever master . . . Bill has perfected his talent." --David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author, on One Year After "A riveting cautionary tale." --Booklist, on One Second After "An entertaining apocalyptic thriller." --Publishers Weekly, on One Second After "The only thing more terrifying than this masterfully crafted story is the possibility of it actually happening--and not a damn thing being done to protect us." --W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV, New York Times bestselling authors, on One Second After "Civilization slides into the abyss of a new dark age in this horrifying apocalyptic novel. Forstchen has put Bin Laden's dream on paper and, in the process, taken civilization straight to the rack." --Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author, on One Second After "Forstchen did such a damned fine job with One Second After that shortly after the first page, I had been reeled in hook, line, and sinker." --David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author, on One Second After
