Book Review " One Second After"

Hello Beloved,

I have finished reading this new book. It was an eye opener too. It was fiction but like the last book I read it was based on true facts. The book is called:
" One Second After" by William R. Forstchen. It has a foreword by Newt
Gingrich. I think it is something we should all know about at least.
The subject is EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon.

The book is about a man who lives in mountains of North Carolina and how when this weapon is used it sends the entire country back into the Dark Ages.
At home speaking with his friend on the telephone and then all of sudden
the phone is dead and the ceiling fan starts to slow down , thinking it must be
power outage, he goes ahead with his plans to cook out on the grill. Soon his daughter says to him, " Dad, something is strange". Silence, no sounds of traffic, no air traffic, nothing.. What is going on?
There are cars stopped on the roads not moving , power out everywhere.. Is it a solar storm that maybe has short circuited? Oh, here comes the mother-in-law with her old Edsel car.... They take it out to see the reason for all the stopped cars... He tries to start his own car and nothing. Being a retired military man he has an idea of what has happened.... EMP.
This weapon works like this: when an atomic bomb is detonated about the earth's atmosphere it can generate a " pulse wave" which travels at the speed of light and will short- circuit EVERY electronic device that the wave touches on the earth's surface...( taken from the Foreword by Newt Gingrich).
So, now with nothing electronic working, anything that is run by computers, ie: lights , all medical equipment, refrigeration, ect.... What will happen?
War breaks out within the community , looting, shooting, food shortage, death.
To find out more about EMP and the story line you need to read this amazing book. Is there really truth to it, or is it just a sci-fi type book to read? I guess you wil have to make up your own mind, I have.
Remember: Smile today it is when you are the most beautiful you can be and someone needs to see it today. God Bless and tenderly with arms wrapped about you..... your sister in Christ Jesus... vickie
