Cover Blurb Ed Stalker had seen his fill of adventure after a life in the Marines and was content to be the small-town Sheriff of Ingalls, a town in West Virginia. Unfortunately for Ed’s retirement plans, the long-feared war with Russia turns nuclear and the United States comes under n...uclear attack. Trapped in the post-nuclear world, Ed and his town must struggle to survive, facing refugees, bandits, religious fanatics and hard decisions to ensure that some remnant of the United States remains intact… Dear Reader There is a funny little story behind this book, which is rather different from everything else I have written, and how I came to write it.
Most post-nuclear war stories struck me as rather unrealistic. The authors either didn't do the research or blatantly ignored the research, often trying to make political points at the expense of good storytelling. Or, alternatively, trying to avoid certain basic realities of a post-nuclear war world, just to avoid having to present the harsh conditions. There was also a certain level of misunderstanding about just what might lead us to nuclear war, particularly the massive nuclear exchange dreaded throughout the Cold War. A few years ago, I drew up a scenario where NATO blundered into war with Russia in the very near future. Such an outright confrontation between nuclear-armed states could easily slip into nuclear Armageddon. As Russia grows more assertive in managing the states surrounding it, and NATO grows more and more fragmented, a series of miscalculations could lead into war. I worked out what such a war would look like, as I saw it, and then built the aftermath around my scenario.MoreLess
