Praise for Five Years After
"The future has never seemed more chilling or more believable than in Five Years After, a riveting dystopian page-turner from one of the masters of the genre. As you descend into the world that William Fortschen creates, you absolutely know that this is how it could all turn out. But as you root for the characters who inhabit his world, your faith in the human spirit will be restored."
--William Martin, award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Constitution and December '41
"Forstchen is a rare storyteller who not only entertains, but also conveys a vital message. He reminds us how much we've forgotten--how to subsist, how to fight, and how to live. Five Years After is a veritable guidebook for surviving the apocalypse--and better yet, how to avoid it."
--Ward Larsen, winner of eight major awards and USA Today bestselling author of Deep Fake
"With One Second After, William Forstchen redefined and elevated the genre of apocalyptic fiction. Now, with the release of Five Years After he raises the bar once more. John Matherson faces his most diabolical antagonist yet, when he he's thrust into a deadly game of wits when a secret cabal of government survivors unleash global holocaust. To save the world, John must embrace the unthinkable, and live with the consequences forever. This is edge-of-the-seat fiction at its finest!"
--Kathleen O'Neal-Gear and W. Michael Gear, award-winning, New York Times bestselling authors of The People of the Earth series and Dissolution
