I'm about halfway through One Second After now. Pretty gristly reading but about how it would go in that type of disaster. People relying on daily meds die in the first month. Retirement homes turn into houses of death.
Makes me want to go out and buy a couple hundred pounds of dried rice and beans RS |

I know several people that will simply check out if it ever gets that bad. They are of the mindset that it's not worth it. I used to think that was horrible but now I understand the mentality a little more. I don't think I could give up like that but I understand where they are coming from a little better now. |

The book hit me pretty hard, when I read it, my daughter had just got dx with Type 1 Diabetes about a year before and grandma just went into a nursing home.
Hard look at reality. |

Working in a pharmacy and being close to the patients and realizing that 90% of them would be dead within 30 days is really upsetting. Only 1% seem to have a clue how precarious their situation is. I only know of one patient who has bothered to get 1 years worth of insulin in rotation and a propane refrigerator keep it cool. A few more have worked with their doctors to develop eating plans to reduce the amount they need. Hopefully they will have perfected the artificial pancreas before anything bad happens. |

This is from the press release for One Year After which goes on sale on Sept 15th:
The story picks up a year after One Second After ends, two years since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States brought America to its knees. After suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to piece back together the technologies they had once taken for granted: electricity, radio communications, and medications. They cling to the hope that a new national government is finally emerging.
Then comes word that most of the young men and women of the community are to be drafted into an "Army of National Recovery" and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away. When town administrator John Matherson protests the draft, he's offered a deal: leave Black Mountain and enter national service, and the draft will be reduced. But the brutal suppression of a neighboring community under its new federal administrator and the troops accompanying him suggests that all is not as it should be with this burgeoning government. |

Good find! One Second After was a great book. I clicked the link though and can't believe that I can buy the paperback cheaper than the Kindle version. Thats just stoooopid.

It was all right. I would get it from the library. Don't think it was worth the hardcover price. Definitely liked the first one better. This was more action. survivors vs govt. It kept it interesting but I was hoping for more on how the community survived. It also starts 2 yrs after the Day so there is a gap of a year and I feel that a lot was missed by not writing about that year. I found myself saying when did that happen a few times.

Read it yesterday. It was OK, but not as good as OSA. Little heavy on the battle aspects and light on the day-to-day survival stuff for my own tastes, but hey, the author is a military historian. His book, his rules.
Overall just didn't seem to have the depth of OSA, but certainly worth the read for those who enjoy the genre. |

The audible version is pretty bad. The story was OK, but the guy reading it sucked. I've listened to something else (don't recall what it was) that guy had narrated and it was equally bad.

It was alright, but not great and certainly not as good as the first one. I can't exactly say why...maybe it felt a little rushed??
And the kindle price was way too much. |

Somewhere in the sequel he mentions that another sequel will be coming out in a "few" months? (third book)
Anyone know when? |
