Ebook About A major release in the New York Times bestselling One Second After series, set in an alternate America rebuilding after an electromagnetic pulse, this is William R. Forstchen's The Final Day.Since the detonation of nuclear weapons above the United States more than two years ago, the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina has suffered famine, civil war, and countless deaths. Now, after defeating a new, tyrannical federal government, John Matherson and his community intend to restore their world to what it was before the EMP apocalypse. For the most part, they are succeeding.This period of relative stability doesn’t last long. A new, aggressive government announces that it’s taking over and ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what’s left of the U.S. Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. John fears he and his town will be targets.General Bob Scales, John’s old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days, is sent to bring John into line. Will John and his people accept the new, autocratic regime? Or will revolution rip the fledgling nation apart at the seams? Months before publication, William R. Forstchen’s novel One Second After was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read. This third book in the series immerses readers 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 death.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.Book The Final Day: A John Matherson Novel Review :
In this, the final installment of William Forstchen's post-apocalyptic trilogy, the author does not disappoint. And while the first installment (One Second After) was a classic in its own right, this last, The Final Day, comes nearest to achieving that hallowed status. Wearied after 2-1/2 years of no electricity, running water, and all the other things we take for granted in 21st century America, former Army Colonel & History Professor John Matheson is just now beginning to see signs of rebuilding. Hope for better days ahead. Tempered, as always, by the tremendous losses suffered by the community in battles against marauders, cannibals, and elements of our own military. At this very moment it all changes once again as an old friend from Army days leaves him feeling threatened & puzzled by his actions. Though, through a complicated & dicey adventure to uncover the truth behind "the day", forces are set in motion they hope will reconstitute the former United States. But not before more blood is shed, needlessly. More intrigue occurs, and the outcome is very much in doubt. Dr Forstchen has written a novel filled with emotion, intrigue, historical parallels, drawing the reader in carefully and handily as the tale unfolds. And while I often felt it went on a bit too long, I also didn't want it to end. For this is writing which fully embodies the American spirit, its history & traditions, without all the petty political quandaries. If you have any love at all for your nation, you'll be touched, your heart warmed, your eyes misty throughout the reading of this novel. And that's as it should be. If you don't feel that way about it - I pity you. More importantly, I pity our nation which sorely needs to be reminded of such things regularly. Just finished "The Final Day," third (and probably last) in the "One Second After" trilogy. My one word reaction was, "okay." Why? Because Forstchen is a good writer with real expertise on his subject and has a fascinating premise with almost infinite possibilities for great storytelling. And he built a strong foundation for a third book on the first two, so The Final Day should have been a great tale. It wasn't. It was okay, and that was down to Forstchen's writing, which was clunky all the way through.Disturbingly clunky, with huge chunks of turbid prose, mindless repetition (alright, already, we GOT it) plot lines that fade into nothingness, and characters that are flat and boring. I'll avoid any major spoilers, but let's cover those points one by one.Forstchen isn't terse, and lots of the prose is like technical writing, Here's one example. "All eyes turned to Paul and Becka, each of them holding one of the twins, who were taking in their first journey to the outside world with wide-eyed wonder, both parents keeping back a bit protectively, for Becka was indeed paranoid about the prospect of the twins catching a cold or something worse from those gathered around." That's one run on sentence and almost the whole paragraph. Come on, man, this kind of thing is where great writers step forward. "Becka was indeed paranoid?" You're not supposed to tell us that, you're supposed to involve us.Repetition. Forstchen loves to make his point. Over and over. Some of it's just annoying redundancy, like this, on the same page as the above: "Paul and Becka had already placed the twins in the back of the Edsel." Next paragraph: Paul and Becka were already in the backseat, huddled over their precious cargo as John helped Makala into the old Edsel after passing the word to Bradley to give a call up to the town hall at the campus to let them know they were leaving." Okay, the twins are in the back seat. Who cares? It's not important to the story and once would have been enough. This happens a lot. People are sitting around talking, making a point, and two pages later, they make it all over again. I counted one exchange that covered the exact same ground four times. I actually checked to see if I'd turned the page backward instead of forward. Nope, just the character, repeating a point I guess he felt he hadn't made often enough. The repetition wouldn't be bad except that when you get into the story and flow with it, you're ready to move on to the resolution of the conflict, or to see how the danger is overcome, and Forstchen pulls us in. Then he repeats everything he just said, which keeps us from reaching our goal. Clunky.Plot threads (and some characters, too) disappear without a trace. We're teased with an unknown government spy in the town, somebody's snitching John and the townspeople off and got a bunch of them killed in the last book. This raises all kinds of possibilities for the writer. Who is the betrayer? How does he do it? What motivates him? How will John find him? What will the good guys do when they catch the bad guy? Forstchen spares us all that suspense by ignoring the whole thing. Guess it wasn't important enough to mention it (about ten times) early on. Another example is the helicopter they captured in "One Year After." That device finally gets used in "The Final Day," but ultimately disappoints. This time, the helo does some important stuff in an exciting sequence, getting damaged in the process. Will they be able to fix it? How will they ingeniously get the bird back up for some other important adventure? Will their resourceful but eccentric aircraft mechanic be able to get the helo up in time? Will the enemy find its secret hiding place? What role will the damaged (and presumably repaired) helicopter play in ending the story? I'll spare you the suspense. The helicopter goes into a hangar and never gets mentioned again. Even the bad guys don't particularly care about it, although you'd think they'd be interested in getting their $6 million aircraft back.Another minor thing. The folks finally figure out how to get some old, obsolete computers working, stuff that wasn't plugged in and was sitting around in a basement, so supposedly unaffected by the EMP. Big buildup, pages and pages. Then, huh... And if the EMP didn't fry computers that weren't plugged in, what happened to all those brand-new, not-obsolete machines in boxes waiting to be sold? Why can't they use those?Finally, nobody, anywhere, ever talks like these people. Everybody, in almost every sentence, uses the other person's name. Who does that in the real world? "A beautiful woman, John. Lots of guts. Can see why you fell in love with her." "Thank you for playing your part, Bob. But she knows."It's just Bob and John talking, but they "John" and "Bob" each other steadily. The dialogue is stilted and frequently corny, and gets interrupted with stuff like, "She smiled, the smile of the legendary Cheshire cat, luring by its cryptic words its prey coming in closer for the kill." Okay.And that's the bottom line. "The Final Day" is okay. A quick read if you skip the clunky bits, which you will after the first few pages. The ending is so-so, but ultimately satisfying.Okay.
