Forstchen (born 1950) is an American author who began publishing in 1983 with the novel Ice Prophet. But the brutal suppression of a neighboring community under its new federal administrator and the troops accompanying him suggests that all is not as it should be with this burgeoning government. When town administrator John Matherson protests the draft, he’s offered a deal: leave Black Mountain and enter national service, and the draft will be reduced. Then comes word that most of the young men and women of the community are to be drafted into an “Army of National Recovery” and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away. They cling to the hope that a new national government is finally emerging. After suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to piece back together the technologies they had once taken for granted: electricity, radio communications, and medications.

One Year After is the thrilling follow-up to that smash hit. Hundreds of thousands of people have read the tale.
