What is One Second After (A John Matherson Novel, 1) about?

<p><p>An end-of-the-world novel to rank with <I>The Stand</I> and <I>Lucifer's Hammer</I> <p></p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p><P>In this entertaining apocalyptic thriller from Forstchen (<I>We Look Like Men of War</I>), a high-altitude nuclear bomb of uncertain origin explodes, unleashing a deadly electromagnetic pulse that instantly disables almost every electrical device in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Airplanes, most cars, cellphones, refrigerators-all are fried as the country plunges into literal and metaphoric darkness. History professor John Matherson, who lives with his two daughters in a small North Carolina town, soon figures out what has happened. Aided by local officials, Matherson begins to deal with such long-term effects of the disaster as starvation, disease and roving gangs of barbarians. While the material sometimes threatens to veer into jingoism, and heartstrings are tugged a little too vigorously, fans of such classics as <I>Alas, Babylon</I> and <I>On the Beach</I> will have a good time as Forstchen tackles the obvious and some not-so-obvious questions the apocalypse tends to raise. Newt Gingrich provides a foreword. <I>(Mar.)</I></P>Copyright &copy; Re
