From William R. Forstchen, the New York Times bestselling author of the One Second After series, comes Five Years After, a near-future thriller where John Matherson must contend with new threats to the fragile civilization that he helped rebuild.

Five years after The Final Day, the Republic of New America has all but collapsed into regional powers and the world at large is struggling to remain stable as regional conflicts ravage the post EMP landscape. After several years attempting to lead a quiet life, John Matherson receives the news that the President is dying from a possible assassination attempt, and is asked to step in to negotiate with what appears to be a new military power hidden in the wreckage of the world.

Pulled back into the fray, John struggles to hold the tottering Republic together. Facing threats on multiple fronts, he races against time to stop another EMP attack on the former United States and China, putting years of progress at risk. With so much of his work under threat, John must find the strength within to start over, so that he can save the country and the people that he holds dear from even greater calamity.

high hope's edited review after completion

I love this series!! I've listen to the 1st 3 books at least 4 times in order. I been waiting for this book to come out for over a year!! compared to the 1st 3 books this book goes nowhere. kept thinking it would take off, maybe get some action like the 1st 3 but NO it actually makes me sad!!

The last 3 hours really shined even though the ending Came fast but hopefully this isn't the end of John matherson and black mountain!!

Why, narrator, why?

The first three books were read fine. This book is, for some reason, read in the most annoying way possible. I understand that certain characters were supposed to be portrayed as insufferable but it was almost unbearable to listen to. I'm ranting, I know, but this is the only venue that holds any value to rant on and I'm so very annoyed. Other than that, a pretty good fourth book to the series (...so far, I haven't even finished it yet...).

Holy GOD that reader.

I’m kind of invested in the series, so I purchased this without hesitation. Once we got rolling I kept noticing the reader. Like, he was trying too hard and getting in the way of the story. It’s driving me insane. I’m almost ready to quit the book just to make his horrible overacting stop. Sweet baby jebus calm down and just read it normally. Otherwise a nice little series to listen to while doing chores.

Surprised and Wanting more

It honestly felt like such an abrupt ending and I was still hoping for more it felt kinda forced. But it was a great story nonetheless.

Weakest one.

Seemed to aimlessly wander then abruptly end, right when it started to get going.
