Forstchen finished his doctorate. at Purdue University, when he began to follow the novel about the EMP attack on the United States.

He said he struggled to get the novel out of the earth and clarify his ideas until he had a “time of God” on his diploma.

“I call it” the moment of God. “I was sitting there, sweating in my dresses, looking at students and parents, and it just hit me – write about us, write about your city.”

The moment of inspiration brought him back to his hometown – Near Asheville, North Carolina – Where the task of writing the correct, convincing version of the event began after the destruction of the EMP attack.

“I started interviewing people like Crazy – Police Chief, pharmacist – and I learned how deep it all depends on the invisible merger of electricity,” he said.

He pointed to an interview with a local pharmacist, whom he shared, he remained crying after considering what would happen after the EMP strike.

“I started interviewing people like crazy. I will never forget to finish the conversation with the police chief. And I said, ‘Okay, Jack, what would you do? And he took the phone, and he said: Wait a minute, the phones don’t work anymore, right? “He said.

“I learned that the pharmacist knew people more than anyone. They are those who give the heart medication, the antipsychotics, and she began to write down this long list of people who would be dead in two to three months,” he said.

Forstchen, quoting the 2002 and 2008 Congress reports, said that 80% to 90% of Americans would be dead a year later if the EMP strike happened.

“The threat from the EMP was first realized during the 1962 high-heeled stars nuclear test.” They managed to return the system within a few days, but how would it take a month, six months, a year or five years to improve? “
