About Aftermath 2: A Nuclear War Survival Thriller (Unabridged)

In a nuclear war, millions will die when the warheads detonate. The EMP effect will destroy power grids. It would be the war to end all wars. Yet … In the aftermath, billions will die from nuclear winter. The real battle to avoid extinction was just beginning. The living will envy the dead. In the first book of this survival thriller series, the pinnacle of human innovation turns into mankind’s greatest nightmare as Nuclear Armageddon was triggered. The world was caught in the crossfire with devastating results. Millions died when the warheads detonated. Power grids were destroyed, leaving mankind to survive in a powerless world. And that was just the beginning. As world leaders have often stated, “There’s no such thing as a small nuclear war.” This is how the world ends. Not with a single missile’s impact, but with many nuclear bombs detonated around the planet. It was no longer a topic of speculation for political pundits or even families sitting around the dinner table. The threat was always real and the devastation was predictable. This is more than the story of nuclear war. It's about the devastating effects aftermath wrought when the bombs stop dropping. The possible future of humanity is seen through the eyes of the Bartlett family, Maine lobstermen whose roots stretch back to the early settlement of Maine. Some are at sea. Another is off the island they call home. And the youngest, newlyweds, are tucked away in a place of perceived safety in the heart of Europe. While they fight for survival, they trek across a rapidly deteriorating landscape fraught with danger from both the elements and their fellow man. Aftermath is a gripping technothriller that explores the dangers of unchecked technological advancement and the profound implications of placing too much reliance on artificial intelligence. It prompts the listener to ask, “With AI, are we summoning the demon and giving it control?”
