About this listen

The highly anticipated follow-up to William R. Forstchen's New York Times best-sellers, One Second After and One Year After, The Final Day immerses listeners once more in the story of our nation's struggle to rebuild itself after an electromagnetic pulse wipes out all electricity and plunges the country into darkness, starvation, and terror.

After defeating the designs of the alleged federal government, John Matherson and his community have returned their attention to restoring the technologies and social order that existed prior to the EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) attack. Then the government announces that it is ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what's left of the US Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states.

The man sent to confront John is General Bob Scales, John's old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days. Will General Scales follow orders, or might he be the crucial turning point in the quest for an America that is again united? As the dubious Federal government increasingly curtails liberty and trades away sovereignty, it might just get exactly what it fears: revolution.

A great story that leaves you thinking two things, how woefully under prepared we all are, and the sad truth about human nature as a whole.

Realistic and gritty

Well written, well narrated and heartfelt. If only people would listen! This should be required reading in western schools. American patriotic but that’s what I expected even as an Australian. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and will miss these characters. Thank you!!!

This is, possibly, the best series I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I am not an American, but this series has made me proud to be a member of an allied nation of the great United States of America. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to share in this incredible story.

My sincere gratitude to the Author and all who made this series available. God bless the United States of America. May we all strive to be as honourable as the characters in this amazing series.

Beautiful
