Re: CRC Civilization Recovery Center

One Second After.

It's probably been mentioned, but ONE SECOND AFTER by William R. Forstchen is outstanding. Basic premise: Unknown 3rd party biffs several nukes above the Ionosphere, setting up a massive EMP that blows North America back to the high middle ages, technologically speaking. If it had anything to do wit...

It is not my intention to start a fight or create division within the site... we were all drawn here for the same reason - Dr. Dartnell's book and the very real concerns it raises.

Re: In Technology Built For Longevity
