Publisher's Summary
The thrilling follow-up to the New York Times best-selling novel One Second After.
Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should have, a book discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at the dangers of EMPs. An EMP is a weapon with the power to destroy the entire United States in a single act of terrorism in a single second; Indeed, it is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. One Second After was a dire warning of what might be our future... and our end.
One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain and the man who struggled to rebuild it in the wake of devastation: John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.

Gets Better
A bit of a chore at the very beginning but hang in there, it does get better. John’s naivety regarding the main antagonist, Dale, was frustrating and seemed out of character.
As others have said, not quite as good as the first book in the series but worth it.

Scary Thoughts.
This book made me think of what would happen after nuclear war and how to survive into the future. Makes me want to build a bunker and start storing things we will need to restart the human race.

Worth it
I devoured the first book via ebook but was unable to get an ebook version of this book, hence the audible version. I don’t normal get into audible books that aren’t self help or the like.
I was so into this book though, I feel it’s realistic in the outcome of a similar situation however all the military talk and references make me wonder if it would be that way for one small town.
The voice of the reader was perfect and I would definitely listen to him again.
I would read more books by the same author.
I love this genre and tend to devour anything I can my hands on.
I will say to those hoping for the same type of reading if the first book this is not that. It’s not so much focused on individual survival as it is on group survival.
An enjoyable book non the less.

Worth the read
I liked the second book in the series better than the first. Although I think that had more to do with the Narrator. Starts slow but if you hang in there, it does get better.

Narration let a good book down
The first book was fantastic and the narrator good and then cam the sequel...
This book could of been so much better if only they had kept the same narrator, or at least found someone who read in a similar style. I found this one clunky, he put strange pauses and nuances into sentences that interrupted the flow of what should of been a great story.

Good but not great
One Year After is the sequel to the excellent One Second after but alas does not rise to its predecessor’s standard. The book settles into a familiar narrative that does not deliver any surprises to the reader.
The book starts off two years after "the day" which is one year after the end of the first book in the series and in that lies the mystery of the title. It is that mystery of the title that lost one star for me straight of the bat as I should not have to spend time deciphering the title of the book. As you might tell this fact annoyed me a tad.
As for the story itself we continue to follow our hero of the last book as he and is town is faced with new challenges to their survival. As I have already mentioned the story line delivers no surprises and is at best a mild pace romp into a America devastated by a strategic EMP blast. The book is entertaining but nowhere near as much as the first book in the series.

Pretty good
Love the first book in the series and bought this one straight away, book 2 dragged on a little bit and unfortunately the narrator changed the characters too making them a bit hillbilly! But overall it was ok.
Still looking forward to book 3.
