"One Second After" is a post-apocalyptic novel that could so easily become reality in the Electronic Age. The cover art is misleading--the nuclear detonation is never seen or felt by the population but all electronics are permanently disabled in an attack that involved no ground forces. Forstchen sets the residents of a small town into a world suddenly devoid of power, communications, and transportation and sets his reader to wonder--how will you cope? How will you survive? I'd like to have this thought-provoking and somewhat disturbing book on hand.

This Twain work is lesser-known but just as good as his more popular books and covers his experiences out West in the 1860's. He spends much of the narrative on silver mining but it is a good record of nineteenth century life and culture in the American West. Don't skip the lengthy introduction where the trials and tragedies of Clemens' life are revealed and through it all, he was writing humor for a living.
