I haven't had a chance to read those yet. Was One Second After pretty good? people seem to like it a lot. I need to read it. Glad this thread is keeping some traction.

I'm excited to see that Antony Beevor has a new book out, Ardnnes 1944. I've really enjoyed some of his others. They are not really fast reading but if you enjoy detailed military history he is one of the best. I think Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945 were two of my favorites. Beevor may not be as exciting as Ambrose but he knows his stuff and presents it well. The best comparison would be Rick Atkinson' Liberation trilogy. Maybe a little drier.

Has anyone read the The Martian yet? I've been eyeing it for a bit and wonder what people think

"One Second After" is very good. Forstchen is a good writer. I read it 3-4 yrs ago and have reread it twice since. While it is not my favorite (mostly because I like long multi book stories) post apocalypse story it is usually the one I loan out when introducing noobs to reasons for prepping/preparedness.

I second that. One of the best SHTF books out there.

Another one from Forstchen that I loved was "Day of Wrath". Scary story, but I think it's close to what will happen in the US one of these days.

Scary. I hope this never happens but I'm afraid that it will.
