Has anyone read the novel One Second Afterby William R. Forstchen.

This a well thought out look at what we would face after an EMP attack. It is set in the mountains of North Carolina along I-40 between Charlotte and Asheville. If you live up there you will recognize your part of the country. I have memories of Montreat Anderson College that give me a scary connection with this story. Most of you sci-fi and military folks know what an EMP attack could do to our technology. The aftermath is straight out of the worse case scenario for SHTF situations. I was looking at my preparations by the time I was 1/3 the way through the book. My wife read it and was asking about what we would do in this case. It will enthrall you as you are drawn into the story. It will also make you look at yourself and the moral judgments you would have to make in the name of survival, of the most useful and most productive people. It gives you an idea of what level of civilization we could expect.
Read it. It is one of the best stories I"ve read in many years.
