Description
A major release in the New York Times bestselling One Second After series, set in an alternate America rebuilding after an electromagnetic pulse, this is William R. Forstchen's The Final Day.
Since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States more than two years ago, the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina has suffered famine, civil war, and countless deaths. Now, after defeating a new, tyrannical federal government, John Matherson and his community intend to restore their world to what it was before the EMP apocalypse. For the most part, they are succeeding.
This period of relative stability doesn’t last long. A new, aggressive government announces that it’s taking over and ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what’s left of the U.S. Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. John fears he and his town will be targets.
General Bob Scales, John’s old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days, is sent to bring John into line. Will John and his people accept the new, autocratic regime? Or will revolution rip the fledgling nation apart at the seams?
Months before publication, William R. Forstchen’s novel One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read. This third book in the series immerses readers once more in the story of our nation’s struggle to rebuild itself after an electromagnetic pulse wipes out all electricity and plunges the country into darkness, starvation, and death.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Amazing Series!
5By OKWXGirlIncredible story telling and jaw-droppingly realistic expectations of the potential experience!!Unsettling, Humbling, Riveting
5By RachelleG.Truly the most proud series I have ever read. A terrifying semblance of our current state of affairs and the silent threat which could stand to be our future.Good ending but boring in the middle
3By Cokorado LadyI had trouble pushing through this book until the last few hundred pages when things picked back up again.Great book .
5By OjolaibinuFrom the moment I opened the book, I got stock, I was only able to release its grip from my soul after the last page was read .Disappointing - Could Have Been Better
2By LogosPhDToo many canned speeches between characters and much less exploration of the consequences of the actions of the primary geopolitical players. Seemed like a toss-off from the prior two novels just to wrap it up.God Bless America
5By patricknssA must read. Never give up! Freedom regardless of sacrifice.Great finish to the series.
5By Gimpy bikerI have loved all the books. I’m so invested in the characters that I feel what they feel. Awesome!The series
5By JbjgreenThis book should be required reading in high school, or college. We just might be able to bring this United States back from the brink once more. Please God just once more.I Felt Every Word
5By SgtSgt77I’ve never been much of a reader in my entire life. A friend told me about “One Second After”, so I gave it a shot. I read that entire book in about 3 nights after bedtime. Then I bought “One Year After”. The only way I would stop reading was to fall asleep. I finished that one in about a week. Immediately, I bought this book and couldn’t stop reading all three books. I truly felt like I was going through everything that the characters were going through all the way until the end. In my own personal opinion, there will never be a series of books that tops this one.Riveting
4By musherdocI really enjoyed the series. It’s a paradox though. He is an “OK” writer. He is not especially good at turning a phrase and his plot is fairly predictable. But I just couldn’t put it down. It was riveting!!
