"One Year After" has been released, the sequel to "One Second After", started reading it the other day... Here's a blurb from Amazon:

New York Times bestselling author William R. Forstchen brings a sequel to his hit novel One Second After. Months before publication, One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, 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. Now, One Year After returns to the small town of Black Mountain, and the man who struggled so hard to rebuild it in the wake of devastation-John Matherson. It is a thrilling follow-up and should delight fans in every way.

Sorry, I meant the paperback was just released. I didn't want the Kindle or hardcopy edition...

"One Year After" has been released, the sequel to "One Second After", started reading it the other day... Here's a blurb from Amazon:

Yeah, I read it when it came out last year - ties up a lot of story threads, but to me not as compelling as the storyline of "One Second After". Worth a read if you read the first, though.

I recently finished three of the four "science of discworld" compendiums and the Tiffany Aching discworld novels from Terry Pratchett, been reading or re-reading some classics - "Treasure Island", "Typee", "Omoo". Halfway through the "World of Ice and Fire" companion to the "Song of Ice and Fire" series to feed my GoT lust.

I really like the Nac Mac Feegle or The Wee Free Men. It's ashame that Pratchett has passed away. Discworld is an amazing literary universe.
