Fair warning to those who have not read: you will need a box of tissues to get through the whole story. Never had a book hit me as hard as One Second After did.

really? I must be an insensitive @&&. I have kids both younger than "Jennifer" it does suck to think about this happening and the results of it but i'll shed tears then not over reading a book.

You are correct. Expecially tough if you have young daughters.

Or older military family...

SWMBO wanted to know what I was reading when it first came out. I told her and she wanted to read it when I finished. I came home one day and found her in tears with the book closed beside her. She was really excited to read it. Never made it past the Ensure section.

I just finished reading this thread/story. What a Great read! I hope he publishes it.

I've read both and both are great reads. I like Lights Out more than One Second After though, but think One Second After probably is the more realistic of the two in some instances. OSA is a bit darker and LO tends to spend way too much time in side stories, but both are worth the time to read them. Rawles' 'Founders' is also a good read, but he really wanders off on side trips that have zero impact on the story. His books are more of a How-To for survival with a bit of a story wrapped around them.
