Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with William R. Forstchen, author of One Second After. It’s a thriller in the tradition of Alas, Bablyon and On the Beach–the tale of what happens to a small town in North Carolina after a devastating electromagnetic-pulse (EMP) attack on the United States. We discuss the real-world threat of an EMP strike, whether our government is doing enough to defend us from it, and what it’s like to co-author books with Newt Gingrich, as Forstchen has done several times.
